#Compilation July 30

For the month of July 2024 several of us are going to take on a 30-Day Nickname Coach4aday Challenge. The simple concept is to share a nickname and tell a little about who it is associated with and why they got tagged with that moniker. Today I’m going with a COMPILATION of nicknames from Chris Berman.

I wrote about Chris Berman back on July 20th in my post on the Swami. While researching for that article I stumbled on a great video where he goes thru a lot of the names he created while on the air for ESPN. The first one he created was MLB pitcher Frank Tanana “Daquiri.” If you want to read about the history of Berman and Nicknames go to this Athletic link.

Nickname 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.

  1. Each day in July learn something or just appreciate a nickname associated with someone.
  2. Share that name with others
  3. If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms

July 30th-Compilation of Nicknames

In 1993 right around the December Holiday Season ESPN did a 30-minute show called The Chris Berman Nickname Show. It is a compilation of a bunch of his created monikers. Give it a watch.
