grenke nicknames?

Apparently his jersey is wrong too....

I cannot believe Photo File Inc. would photoshop that crap in there.  And the Royals being the large vaginas they are haven't spoken up about it.

the amazing thing aboutthis is that grenke himself has said that there is no "i" in it but that when he first started playing baseball for the royals they made a jersey with an "i" in his last name and that he didn't want to say anything and just kept it. what an amazing youngster.

QFT.  With there were more Grenke's in the world.  (or on the Royals, imagine the Royals with 5 Grenke's)

Well when the organization first gave him a jersey in the minors, that one also had an "i".  Because of his early success and most baseball players are superstitious.  Not to mention Zack is this era's Fidrych.  He did not want to change the jersey.  I remember an article about him when he was with the Wranglers, he just wished people would leave him alone and let it be.  Zack could not believe people in KC wanted him to fail, by using his real name on his jersey.  Let me see if I can find the article.

I still think Zack is behind this though and doesn't want to admit it and tarnish his name (whatever it really is). Grenke i mean come on what a loser name, I think he was just trying to Joe Dirt it, and class it up a little, but it actually stuck for Zack, and now he plays it off all coy like
