Boom Goes the Dynamite veteran Steve Geller (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) recently set a new CSC all-sports record for nicknames when teammate Tory Kukowski (Lewiston, Minn.) called the aging utility player “Gelly Donut” in the fourth inning of Boom's 9-4 loss to the Cleveland Steamers last night. Geller now has 22 nicknames: Easy Stroke, Small Medium & Gell-Large, Old Geller, Gelly Donut, Gell-Gell Cool J, Stroke, Gell, Penn & Geller, Gellajandro, Uri Geller, Peanut Butter & Gelly, Cool J, Coolies, Gelly Bean, Gelly Belly, Messy Steve, Steve-O, Gell-Gell, Big Steve, Stefan Gellar, Gelly Ache and Gell-arr.
Kukowski ranks a distant second on the team with seven monikers: Kuko, Kooks, Tory-Tory-Tory, Teeks, TK, Snacks and Intern Boy.
At the time of his broken-neck-fueled retirement, Shane Sandersf*** (Williamsburg, Iowa) - a former outfielder/slugger for Boom predecessors Gas on the Fire and I'm With Stupid - owned 14 nicknames: Sugar, Sug, Sanderschimp, Sandersbitch, Sandersfield, Shawn, Shan, Big Goofy, Quiet Storm, Sug-Diddy, Shan, Dance Monkey, thecooldiesel and Big Daddy Cool Diesel.
