Corrected entry: In the game against the Bucs where Nuke is having a great game and hits the Bull, he blows off Crash's call for a fastball. Crash stands up and says "Charlie, here comes the deuce," but when the P.A. announcer says the player's name, she says "Jimmy."

Correction: "Charlie" is a commonly used generic name in baseball.
I noticed that too, and it bugged me because he spoke to him familiarly as if he was a buddy. I suppose he may have just been calling him "Charlie" in the same sense that someone might call someone whose name they don't know "Buddy" or "Mac." But it didn't feel that way.
