Nickname seeks Indian vote — "English Leather"


The thoroughly exhaustive nomination process is complete, and there are six contenders to the crown of "English Leather." I applaud all who participated and enjoyed their detailed and overwrought analysis. Computations of UZR ratings, and extensive name etymology have joined forces to produce six worthy options for the nomenclature. From the well-bearded and genial Jake Westbrook, whose last name translates literally into West Brook, to inveterate comedian and Moose Hall Mangler Leslie Townes Hope, these six hopefuls have combined brash individuality with either slick fielding or the essence of tanned cow hide to become the half-dozen most worthy Tribesman limited memory can muster.

Click and be heard! ... clicking. Let the voting commence, word counts be damned!

I am the only person who think the slick-fielding Jacob Westbrook is a great choice for English Leather?

Ah, well. The king is dead, long live the king or whatever.

I was going to vote for Jack Hannahan.

Matt LaPorta is the bane of my existence.

There’s always vote buying. Or registering under several different names for repeat votes.
