MLB -- tie between "Spaceman" Bill Lee and "Big Sexy" Bartolo Colon
NFL -- “The Minister of Defense” Reggie White (though if we count Bermanisms, Eric "Sleeping with" Bienemy)
NBA -- Either "Chocolate Thunder" Darryl Dawkins, or "The Round Mound of Rebound" Charles Barkley.
NHL -- "Super Mario," of course.
I can't find the old SNL clip naming Daryl Dawkins "Man of the Millennium". It was awesome, though.

Awesome list. Haha Big Sexy. I forgot about Bartolo. The round mound of rebound is also great.

The anniversary of Big Sexy's greatest moment just passed:

It's a shame we won't see pitchers hit homeruns anymore. Unless they are named Ohtani.
Actually on second thought, it's not really a shame. For every fun moment like this there were probably 1000 non competitive pitcher at bats.
