Phillies: Ranking “Player’s Weekend” jersey nicknames
By John Town
The good ones
5-7. Hector Neris, Luis Garcia, Maikel Franco-“Las Compas”
Neris, Garcia, and Franco all themed their nicknames around being friends, or “compas.” Neris is “Compa H”, Garcia is “Compa G”, and Franco is “Compa F.” Cute.

4. Odubel Herrera-“Torito”
This one was pretty obvious. The “Little Bull” and his horns have been an icon since he joined the team in 2015. Can’t go wrong here.
3. Casey Fien-“Fien Machine”
For a guy who pitched all of four games in a Phillies uniform, he’s got one of the better nicknames on the team. He’s on the 60-day disabled list so we won’t get to see it and I can’t imagine anyone buying a $200 Casey Fien jersey. Regardless, it’s got a nice ring to it.
2. Andrew Knapp-“Knapp Time”
While Knapp’s nickname is pretty much what we all think of whenever a Phillies game comes on, but it’s still pretty darn good.

1. Aaron Altherr-“A-a-ron”
Well somebody is a Key and Peele fan. I’ve been calling all of my friends named Aaron this since that short came out, but it’s a great short and a great nickname.
