I don't know if this has been posted yet, but Bacon is officially Gordon Beckham's nickname, as noted by the guys at B-R.com

Well done. Well done. :clap:

Easily.

I'm going to go ahead and attribute Gordon's massive sophomore slump to this horrendous nickname.

What's the alternative, Gordo? That's just stupid.

Bacon has it's flaws, but I love it. Besides, lots of guys have strange nicknames.

Bacon is a greasy, nasty, fattening food that I despise. So naturally I never cared for the nickname.

But if he likes it, I guess that's all that matters. But DOES he like it?

Is there a need for an alternative?

We can call him Turkey Bacon then, maybe?

The nickname is part of the "Over-hype" on this kid.

And it's lame.

Basically it's a way of making fun of how another person speaks the English language (Ozzie).

Why do I have a feeling Ozzie wouldn't really give two craps that the nickname resulted from his butchering of the English language?

Dis keeeed Bacon!

It was a lot cuter when his batting average was 100 points higher.

Even then, I didn't like it.
