Another thing about Mike Hargrove I seem to remember. He really didn't get his nickname from his little ritual, as you say, I seem to remember that he got it specifically because he was a guy who walked constantly. He would take so many pitches and foul some off before finally getting a hit or taking a walk. In every year he played he had more walks than strikeouts. 12 years. That's what made his AB's so long. Joey Votto can't even match Hargrove in BB/K ratio. Unreal.
