    How did the wild man base player from the Sex Pistols get the nickname Syd Vicious?

    Question #78046. Asked by star_gazer. (Mar 29 07 9:14 PM)

    		"Described by peers as 'slender and likeable', Ritchie took the stage name "Sid Vicious," which reportedly came from an ironic joke involving the name of John Lydon's pet hamster "Sid," which had apparently bitten Sid and subsequently been dubbed "Vicious" by him. It is also reported that the name "Vicious" came from the Lou Reed song of the same name."

    One of the roles of the third base coach is to tell the runner to stop running or to proceed around third base and try to score. Quite often runners will ignore the coach's advice to stop running and try to score regardless. Could a player get in trouble with his manager for doing this?

    The Los Angeles Dodgers had the same starting infield for about eight years (not every day but they were the starters.) Can you name all four, first base, second base, shortstop and third base?
