Don't know the first, but the Catawba Claw was Frank "Bucky" Pope.

I think this one has come up before and Yankee fans have said Ron Blomberg the former DH...But I believe the nickname goes back to a former Redsox and Pirate, Dick Stuart, who actually played around the time that the movie was released...with Blomberg playing later after the release of the movie.

[Lefty Noob]

Yep, Dick Stuart was indeed "Dr. Strangeglove" - committed 169 errors in 1027 career games.

Okay, here is a new one..."The Chicoutimi Cucumber"....think hockey...
