PHOENIX -- David Peralta has taken to a nickname bestowed upon him a few years ago from D-backs television voice Steve Berthiaume --- The Freight Train.
The nickname was a result of how hard Peralta runs the bases, and there have been T-shirts made with the phrase.
When shortstop Chris Owings began getting playing time in right field on Peralta's off-days, Peralta took to calling him "The Little Freight Train."
Owings has been trying to get Peralta to use the song, "C'mon N' Ride The Train," by Quad City DJ's as his walk-up music, but Peralta had yet to do it.
