It’s September and somehow the Mariners continue to flirt with their first post-season appearance in two decades. Regardless of what may happen between now and October, one part of the team that’s been consistent in good years and bad is player nicknames.
, because he had a farm in Yoncalla, Oregon,” Eskenazi continued. “And Bill Lawrence, the great centerfielder from the Seattle Rainiers, he was ‘Highpockets’ because he was so tall.”
A few years ago, Adamack – who’s become something of an unofficial historian for the team – put together a master list of Mariner nicknames going all the way back to 1977. To do that, he called on his own first-hand knowledge from those decades around the clubhouse, and he reached out to several people, such as longtime Mariner trainer Rick Griffin, to get their input too.
“He’s told me that he got that nickname when he was playing, I think it was, junior college baseball,” Adamack said. “He was an outfielder, and he went out toward the wall to make a play, and the ball hit him in the head and they started calling him ‘Bonehead.’ And then it just got shortened to ‘Bone.’”“He just had this that way about him,” Adamack said. “He’s from Texas.
“He might have gotten in some trouble on the road in Cleveland, really minor trouble,” Adamack said. “He either was handcuffed or, somehow, Caudill talked a policeman out of a pair of handcuffs, and he brought them back to Seattle with him.”
