Some of you will notice that I have not included the less-than-sanitary nicknames from Masterson that some readers submitted to the poll, further solidifying the Yankee fan stigma of being you-know-whats.
As I mentioned, we’re probably going to turn this into a T-shirt and put it up on the Internet for any interested parties to purchase. I think we’re going to start making a little Fire Brand store, which would be neat, don’t you think?
The new poll asks you to choose between the top three nicknames of Masterson: Monsterson, The Master and Sergeant/Master Sergeant (if the latter one wins, we’ll vote again as to which Sergeant moniker should be used). I did not include Jedi Masterson because of legal issues, although that was a fantastic nickname suggestion. The winning name, again, will be placed on a T-shirt. Have at it!
