Kansas City Royals: Ranking the Best ‘Players Weekend’ Jersey Nicknames

Best (Accidental?) Nickname Combination

Sledge and Hammer — Peter Moylan and Jason Hammel

I have yet to see any article on the Players Weekend jerseys that mentions that these two were coordinated, and that might make me love this combination even more.

I mean look how great they look next to each other.

The two are solid (and fitting) on their own.

Sledge is apparently an Australian slang term for trash talking. That’s awesome in its own right. But it also lends its name to Moylan’s famous Sledge-iatto. (Chronicled here by the Kansas City Star’s Rustin Dodd.)

Hammel’s obviously is more of a play on his name, but it’s pretty sweet by itself.

Together, though, they are incredible. Whether or not they were planned.
