Alex Dickerson is “Grandpa” and other notes about the 2019 Players’ Weekend nicknames

This year’s Players’ Weekend falls on the final part of the 2-game Bay Bridge series in a weird scheduling quirk where the Giants don’t have a game that Friday. What’s important, though, is that we have this year’s list of nicknames for the back of the jerseys (more on the jerseys in a bit).

The first four on the list are repeat bores from a year ago. You know what? That’s fine. If that’s how you want to do your nickname, that’s fine. Just go for it. I’ve been called “Murph” so many times in my life that the thought of a different nickname hasn’t ever occurred.
