I always knew Ankiel was a Dick

From The St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

Ankiel has been preoccupied recently about when it is age appropriate for him to shorten his given name, Richard, to "Dick" instead of "Rick." Some friends and clubhouse denizens have already taken to calling him "Dick" this spring. He calls it an instant "ice-breaker."

That Dick Ankiel, always redefining himself.

I'm a little shocked, Cubs fans have been calling Ankiel a Dick since he debuted for the Cardinals on the mound. Oh well, I guess it's official now.

Like we didn't already know.
