    I did some sleuthing the other day so I won’t answer, but will say this guy did a lot better in mvp voting than I remembered. Six times in the top 10.

    I googled as well so I won’t say the answer, but I honestly had no idea “The Big ___” was the guy’s nickname. I don’t remember ever hearing it.

    Not Lee May, who only batted righty.

    This guy was one of the Killer B's in Houston.

    The other nickname listed for him on Baseball Reference is much more entertaining.

    Sounds like a Jim Rome nickname. Better than Chrissy, I suppose.
