Why do they call Detroit Tiger’s Ivan Rodriguez “Pudge” Rodriguez?
Hi, First of all I’m not a Tiger’s fan, however I’m just wondering why they call Ivan Rodriguez the tiger’s catcher “Pudge” Rodriguez? I hear it all the time on ESPN but don’t know why?! please help easy my mind. Thank you!
When he was a rookie with the Rangers, the other players thought he looked like a Pug when he removed his mask. Instead of calling him “pug” they went with “pudge”.
