on the houston page on Dee-nee.com, Doran's nickname is listed as "Doran with Cheese". What is the meaning of his nickname? I'd like to propose a new one to you: Mrs. Roger Dorn, like in Major League. That's what Nacho and I say pretty much every time he comes up.
I am probably Houston more often than anyone in the world, so if anyone has actually used nickname for these players, it would be me.
Glen Davis is still Geena Davis in my book, though.
Pulp fiction had the "Royal with cheese, pronounced "ROY-Al"
Our friend Eddy at the time smoked Doral cigarettes, we called them "Door-Al with cheese"
We were playing RBI, Doran became "DOOR-Ann with cheese"
Sorry you asked, aren't ya?
I don't know Eddy, but I got the Pulp Fiction reference. It's all in the pronunciation of "Door-an".
I got the Pulp Fiction reference as well...but Chubbs and I also refer to Doran as Dorn, just not Mrs. Roger.
I just call him Roger.
I believe that Dorn is the preferred nickname by most serious RBI players. Also, I slept with Bill Doran's pixelated RBI wife. She was hawt.
I like Roberto

Major Leauge is the best movie there is. Period.
I want to clarify the meaning of "Mrs. Roger" in this case by citing the appropriate scene. Most of you can probably figure it out, but for those of you who haven't seen the movie in a while, we are referring to the scene where CurtFlood's brother (aka Wild Thing Vaughn) sleeps with the woman he met in a bar who ended up being Dorn's wife. In the morning, he mentioned that he never found out her name, and she says it, followed by "Mrs... Roger... Dorn."
We make sure to use her tone of voice every time Doran comes up.
We got a new guy at work named Randy Vaughn...BigVanilla and I were fuckin' jazzed until we realized that Sheen's character in Major League was Ricky and not Randy...fuck. Regardless, the bizznanny has been branded with the "Wild Thing" nickname from here on out.
You both must eternally hum the music whenever in his presence, making y'all best of friends in no time!

Randy spent some time in the California Penal League, so I'm sure he'll be a nice addition to the team.
Freshman year, my roommate and I had a physics professor named Hale Bradt. A little while later, we found out his middle initials were VD, which we thought was pretty funny. Then we found out that "VD" stood for "Van Dorn".
To this day, we still refer to him as "Even me".
From the movie:
Lou Brown: I have something I think you all ought to know about. It seems that Mrs. Phelps doesn't think too highly of our worth. She put this team together because she thought we'd be bad enough to finish dead last, knocking attendance down to the point where she could move the team to Miami... and get rid of all of us for better personnel.
Roger Dorn: Even me?
Lou Brown: Even you, Dorn.

That is quite possibly the best thing ever.
