 Sounds like a character in one of the Austin Powers movies.
Baseball is unfortunately running short of great names and nicknames.  I like Blade Tidwell, who unfortunately is an NL prospect.  On the AL side, there's Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson, who rocks the Terry Forster body type with a body-appropriate nickname.  (Remember Pork Chop Pough or Motorboat Jones? Ah, the good old days!)

Smashnova was her maiden name.

Nice memory lane trip.  But for one of the shortest players on tour (5-2), she probably should have stuck with the maiden name, which would have made more sense (Pistolesi).

Read this lengthy summary of Smashnova’s career and see if you see anything that suggests she was capable of hitting a ball with authority. 
Sorry.  Not sorry.
