  2. The first Phillies slugger after about 2037 can have the nickname "Broad Street Bomber," but until CBP is torn down and a new stadium is built on the site where the Vet once stood, Howard will have to choose a street between 6th and 10th if he wants such a geographic-sounding nickname.

    Or, instead, the "Pattison Avenue Powerhouse"?

  3. this is what happens when white people pick nicknames
    Rhyno,The Ryan King, H-Bomb, Big Easy, All-Howerful, Howabunga, Deep 6, Mr. Clean, Howitzer, Whambino, Big Smooth, Broad Street Bomber. They're all stupid. The only one close to not embarrassing is Big Smooth. Mr. Clean, Howitzer, Whambino, All-Howerful, come on!!!!!!

  5. those all blow. "Howitzer", "Ryno (not sSnberg) Howard", "Howardini"? Come on. You people should be dropped from the Ben Franklin bridge. Keep it simple. Ryan "Smash" Howard. One word to desribe his swing, size, power.

  8. Dumb idea. You can't force a nickname. Find something better to do with your time. Next topic please.
