I remember back in the late 60s, the Atlanta Braves had a slightly pudgy catcher we'd call "Chicken Catcher Torre".

Wonder whatever happened to him?

LOL! I remember that. I read a quote by then manager Bobby Bragan in Baseball Digest around that time that went something like this: "I think we should start calling Joe Torre 'chicken.' Get it? Chicken Catcher Torre!"
