Angels: Disco Howie Kendrick
Manager Mike Scioscia has done his best over the last couple of years to slap a nickname on Howie Kendrick. He continues to call Kendrick "Truck," which is a nod to Motown. Eddie Kendricks, a former member of the Temptations, broke off for a solo career and his first No. 1 hit was called "Keep on Truckin." According to the Wikipedia website, "Keep on Truckin" is often considered the first song of the disco era.
Eddie Kendricks' original name was Edward James Kendrick, but there is no relation to the Angels' rising young star. And the Angels' Kendrick has no plans to add an "s" to the end of his name.
