Ironic

Graig Nettles

I have been on here a while and graduated from LSU in 1976 and 1980. Craig Nettles was my favorite Yankee. I have had to explain to a few why I have it misspelled, So here I go again. In the 70’s, I misspelled his name often and just continued the tradition. Hope that explains it. It is not ironic, it is intentional.

It’s all good amigo…though you could say it’s ironic you intentionally misspelled it…just kidding.

I’d imagine today that few on this site know his name, much less that it was misspelled, except maybe card collectors searching for that elusive 81 Fleer. FWIW - The Louisville Slugger I have in my truck happens to be a Graig Nettles model. No particular reason other than that’s what they had on the rack at k-mart in Augusta Georgia in 1983.
