List Of Red Sox Nicknames For MLB's Upcoming "Players Weekend" (8/24-26)

Major League Baseball will hold a "Players Weekend" (Aug. 24-26)—giving players the opportunity to express themselves by affixing nicknames on the backs of their jerseys. The Red Sox Lack Of Creativity Award goes to catcher Dan Butler, whose jersey will be emblazoned with "BUTLER". Apparently, the Cardinals' Tyler O'Neill: ("O'NEILL") got the same memo as Butler.
