In professional baseball, the nickname, it's Philly.
The Spanish guys, they couldn't say Phillips.
The IPS at the end always tripped them up, so they'd go Philly, Philly.
That kind of worked.
When I was in Texas and then I went to the Phillies.
I'm South Jersey, yeah.
So I'm like 20 minutes from the city.
It's always easier just to say Philadelphia or Cherry Hill if you're on the Jersey side.
It's crazy how nicknames come.
Um, well from this year we had, uh, we were in the bullpen.
We had, uh, Cade Gibson.
He's a ball.
He's a ball guy.
And the Spanish guys out there, uh, Ronnie Enriquez and, uh, Valente Bellozo.
They just, they started calling them Pilon, which is bald and Spanish.
That was just his nickname.
Honestly, like that's like really the main one.
I called him Gilbert one day on accident.
Like, I don't know why that came out.
So I just started calling Gilbert from there on out.
