Mickey Brantley sighting!

Former Mariner outfielder Mickey Brantley has been named hitting coach of the Toronto Blue Jays!

This would be like Jose Canseco being named chairman of Mensa.

Brantley was a career .259 hitter, with a career OPS of 707! When he came up Niehaus originally nicknamed him Mick the Stick. After a couple of years he changed the nickname to Mick the Quick (he did nab 18 bags in his only full season).

We usually referred to him as Mick the (insert euphemism for male genetalia that rhymes with Mick).
