Baseball is famous for its great nicknames. One source of a good nickname historically has been a player's collegiate experience. Back in the day, it wasn't as common for players to have college connections, so when they did, it became a calling card.
Consider some of the following:
Frankie Frisch, known as the Fordham Flash.
Eddie Collins had several nicknames, including "College Boy" and "Cocky."

Apparently Rob Dibble haunts Tim Kirkjian's dreams.
Baseball's best division.
A Ray Isom cameo.

Weird news day.
Manny Ramirez continues to walk to the beat of a different drummer.
Will the Yankees show loyalty?

Americans love getting things for free.
Even if it's cheaply made.
This is why we appreciate giveaways at baseball games so much.
Whether its the bobblehead we stick in a closet, hoping it will one day pay for our children's college education - even though winning the lottery isn't guaranteed to do that anymore - or the cheap headband we'll never be caught dead wearing, we take free stuff with a smile from our face.
So, here now are the ten best giveaways at baseball games.

We're so proud of the Orioles.
Not the Phillies' offense.

A lot has been made about this being the Year of the Pitcher.
There were more no-hitters than Carlos Beltran home runs.
Ubaldo Jimenez looked like he might win 30 games.
Roy Halladay, Josh Johnson, Johan Santana, Mat Latos, Jaime Garcia, Adam Wainright, Chris Carpenter, Tim Hudson, Carl Pavano, David Price and CC Sabathia have dominated. Ten other pitchers probably deserve to be on his list.
Hell, Brett Myers and R.A. Dicky are pitching like Koufax and Drysdale.
But...
What about the rookies?
Jason Heyward, Buster Posey and Stephen Strasburg have starred, but Mike Leake, Travis Wood, Ike Davis, Tyler Colvin, Jon Jay, Jose Tabata, Neil Walker, Starling Castro, Wade Davis, Jeremy Hellickson, Austin Jackson and Brennan Boesch have been impressive, too.

A new nickname for Mike Sweeney.
Catching Jamie.
This first pitch is dedicated to our good friend Jordan.

Everyone knows Nolan Ryan could be dominant. He did throw seven no-hitters, after all.
During one of them, Tiger slugger Norm Cash felt so helpless he decided to abandon his normal Louisville Slugger.
What did he bring with him to the plate?

In incredibly horrible news for the Washington Nationals, Stephen Strasburg will miss a year.
He is going to have Tommy John surgery, according to the Washington Post.

What is a "scraper?"

The Yankees are about to win a series they won't even play in.
The Phillies have their fans panicking.
Bart talks about teamwork.
