I tried to post on the original thread, but my school's "protective software" wouldn't let me. Must have been a suggestive nickname on there ;)
Anyway, my brother and I had a few from back in the day. Mostly, they come from the Tigers/Angels because that's who we mostly played with.
Chet Lemon - "Chester the Molester"
Bill Madlock - "Mud Duck"
Kirk Gibson - started as "Captain Kirk" and evolved to "Cap'n Crunch"
Lou Whitaker - "Buh-whee" aka Buckwheat
Larry Herndon - "Look I'm going to the bench"
Bobby Grich - "the Grinch"
Bob Boone - "Boob"
Dick Schofield - didn't really have a nickname, but we'd always put a major emphasis on Dick...really impressed our Mom!
George Hendrick - "Soul-Glo" (Coming to America ref)
Don Sutton - "Pubes"
Jeffrey Leonard - "Don't call me Jeff, please"
Joel Youngblood - "Youngblood, Wasn't that a hockey movie?"
Rafael Santana - "Pitcher hitting in the 8 spot"
John Kruk - "Put me in Coach!"
Youngblood was a solid movie.
Speaking of nicknames, has anyone ever noticed that every syllable of Tony Armas's name is a body part? Toe-Knee-Arm-Ass.

I loved Racki. "You wanna go, pretty boy?"
Here are some of the nicknames we have used: Interesting to see some of the same names we used on the dee-nee.com site.
Boone- "Danny" or "Daniel Boone"
Wilfong- "Amadeus", like Wolfgang Amadeus
Donnie Moore- "Suicide" as he committed the fatal act
R. Jones- "Not Unusual"- after the bad Tom Jones song
Bergman- either "Candice" or "Murphy Brown"
Jose Cruz- originally "Maverick" after Tom but it has since been changed to "Penelope"
Doran- "Doran Doran" like the group
Gladden- "G Funk"
Roy Smalley- "Stuart" after the SNL character
Davidson- "Harley"
Mookie Wilson- "Blaylock" after the bball player Mookie Blaylock
Santana- "Black Magic" after the song Black Magic Woman by Carlos Santana
Teufel- "Teufel Shuffle" Goonies reference much like Chester Copperpot
Some quality names there, I like Doran Doran and Harley Davidson the best. Since the latter doesn't have a nickname for us, that'll be his official Dee-Nee name...
We have a ton of nicknames but every time there's a thread on it, I can never seem to thing of any. Here's a few that came to mind.
Kirby Puckett - Al Groper
Bob Boone - Boones Farm
Don Baylor - Elgin
Chet Lemon - Bacardi Lemon
Bill Schroeder - Scrotumeater
Fernando Valenzuela - The Hefty Lefty
Those are some good ones, but we call Fernando Valenzuela- "The Cheese" because everything he throws is "soft" and basically "served up on a platter"
what of my favorites has always been "righetti spaghetti"
Righetti is the Lefty who's a righty (rghti).
I just have to say that Kimmy Gibler is by far my favorite Dee-Nee nickname. That fuckin' cracks me up.
