Here are our favorite 101 nicknames for Players Weekend

By Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman

Players Weekend is finally right around the corner, and we could not be more amped for it. Ever since MLB released the 1,300+ nicknames that we'll see on the backs of uniforms this weekend, we've been super antsy to see this whole thing in action. 
It's understandable to feel a little overwhelmed: 1,300 is a big number -- more home runs than Barry Bonds and Mickey Mantle combined.To ease you of all stress, we decided to put together our 101 favorite Players Weekend nicknames. 
And, if any of these nicknames call out to you on a deep and human level, you can buy yourself a jersey on the MLB.com shop.
Who got left out? Who made the top 10? Who's No. 1? Check out the video above to see our picks. 
If you think we're idiots and adamantly disagree with us, share your complaints on Twitter @CespedesBBQ.
