    Who gave Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch his nickname?

    Question #112134. Asked by serpa. (Jan 15 10 2:29 PM)

    		It was Chicago Daily News sportswriter Francis Powers.

    "His crazy legs were gyrating in six different directions, all at the same time; he looked like a demented duck."

    Pretty cool nickname, if I do say so myself.
