What should Hank Steinbrenner's nickname be?

 
In my squawk earlier today, I referred to Hank Steinbrenner as “Hammering Hank.” Squawker reader CRegan sent me an email about it, with a much better suggestion for a nickname: You should call Hank Steinbrenner “Yammering Hank,” not Hammering Hank, as the latter nickname has already been taken, and it seems ole Hank is compelled to yammer. Ha! This is really good. But I’ll throw this out to our Squawker readership - should Hank Steinbrenner be known as Yammering Hank, or does anybody else have another suggestion? The floor is open! Just keep the nicknames fun and clean. Thanks! Tell us what you think. Leave us a comment! [link]
