[edit] Name

Does anybody know how Guerrero got such a non-Latino first name of "Vladimir"? If he was from Cuba I'd understand it, but since he's not, I'm interested to know why he was given a name not common where he's from. -albrozdude 21:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone know his at bat music

I am dying to know what song vladdy uses when he comes up to the plate. Does anyone know —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.170.227.33 (talk) 00:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] removed

I removed the part about Rex Hudler.

"All of which were popularized by the Angels color commentator (and former MLB player) Rex Hudler."

For one, its not at all relevant who popularized the nicknames and second its false. He didnt popularize "Vlad the Impaler". He was called that back when he was in Montreal. And "Big Daddy Vladdy" is just a variation of "Big Vladdy" which he was also reffered to back in Montreal.

Vlad The Impaler is always heard on Baseball Tonight. Karl Ravech practically invented it for him. Nicknames are earned. Just because "he didn't popularized" it doesn't mean anything.

Um, I've never heard him referred to a "Mr. Tumnus". Anyone got a cite for that? Cowboyx 20:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

No - and it fails the Google test, except that "Mr. Tumnus" is the pseudonym used by someone who has posted some entries about Guerrero on Internet forums. I believe this is someone's idea of a joke, and am going to remove it on that basis. If it gets reverted, perhaps someone will cite references and/or investigate further?
