Due to a farm-machinery accident in his youth (April 17, 1888), Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand,[1] and in the process gained a colorful nickname. He turned this handicap into an advantage by learning how to grip a baseball in a way that resulted in an exceptional curveball
#LetsGoSwitzerlandThe Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read. The biggest obstacle to progress is a habit of “buying what we want and begging for what we need.”You get the Freedom you fight for and get the Oppression you deserve.

I recall from the early 70's a Monday Night Football game. The Bears were playing and the coach/former player was Abe Gibron. He was a very large, heavy man. Cosell was quick to label him with the nickname of "The Rotund One".
Successful transactions:Tookybandit. "Everyone is equal, some are more equal than others".
He doesn't look like much, but this man still holds the all time record for most consecutive fights won in boxing without a loss by winning 93 straight fights before being beaten. In his prime he was unbeatable. He is The legendary Jimmy Wilde. His nickname was "The Mighty Atom".
