Alright, this will be a new one with a wildlife theme. No Trout's, Deer's, Lamb's, or Salmon's in the last name that'll make it too easy. Although Catfish is a gimme.
To make it a little tougher, I've eliminated a word that better describes the player. For instance, Jack Nicklaus was known as the 'golden' bear, on this list only the word 'bear' would show up. That was just a for instance and all players are baseball players.
These could be their real first names, nick names, just a one word animal phrase that makes you think of that player. And of course, there will be duplicates for some names, especially for 'Goose' and 'Moose'.
These will not be last names, so 'Fox' will not be Nellie Fox, Bird will not be Byrd, etc...

9, 12, and 18 are wrong, Glenn

Stanley is also wrong for Rooster....I thought about putting his 'Chicken' nickname here, but thought it too obscure, so you get an 'attaboy' just the same

Love the 'Bull' Leon Durham reference. Wished I'd of thought about that, but didn't

And I think Unit killed a pigeon, while Winfield got a gull....

Donkey = part project part donkey = Pronk = Hafner ? A for effort dough ?

One of these, I knew would be tough. But another I thought would be just behind 'Catfish' in ease....

Rooster - Rick Burleson

ahh yeah.. of course. Greg "THE BULL" Luzinski !

Bull could be a few == Valenzuela, Cepeda (a couple of current player as well)

That's the tough one.
I was looking for either Burleson or Rader

ToddZ wrote:Bull could be a few == Valenzuela, Cepeda (a couple of current player as well)

Cepeda stood out to me in that he was commonly referred to as 'the Baby Bull'

The easy one is still left
Current player.

Bear
Fox
