I decided to go with the Ian Kennedy hat first.(shown below) ONE ENTRY PER ACCOUNT. I cannot stress this enough. Users that submit multiple entries will be disqualified. Ok here’s how it works. I’m going to ask a question, submit your entry as a comment with your answer. Every user with the correct answer will be put in a drawing for the hat. All entries must be submitted before 9PM eastern time tomorrow night. I will announce the winner shortly after.
Here’s the question: What is Ian Kennedy’s most common nickname around the clubhouse?

LLAMA!!!!! Not sure about the rest of y’all Phil, but those of us down here in Texas call him the llama…efficient and dependable. Come on Ian, hook me up with a second place wrist band or third place shoelace. Also, you gotta get the stirrups back on, haven’t seen you wearin em yet this spring. And please stay far away from Igawa.
Mighty Mouse sounds good.

Well since you said around the club house i assume it means what the players call him. i would have to guess: Mr. Kennedy
IPK
Kenny.
Dorothy
Icky
Hollywood
IPK
I read that IPK has become pretty popular
I kidnapped a llama once and named it Kennedy after the first time I saw him pitch in Kansas City, so my unofficial answer is definitely llama……. although it might be Trojan Man from his college days. And I definitely, once again, agree with Captain Wiley about the stirrups – we went and bought stirrup socks immediately after that game in KC and wear them every time he pitches!!! Wish we could have seen you throw at Spring Training, but I showed enough love to Ian to make me hoarse for a week!!!! Thanks for yet another giveaway!!
IPK
Mini-Moose
Dorothy (Ooooh my fingers are crossed!)
ipk
Big E or Biggie? I just wanna be different
IPK
IPK
IPK
IPK
man, i checked the blog at lunchtime to see if it the contest was up, and when i look again 500 people have submitted answers? You’ve really gotten quite the following on this site now Phil, and you should be proud.
anyhow, my guess would have been IPK even if 80% of the people here hadn’t already guessed it. Lets hope we’re not all wrong.
I’m gonna say Dorothy. Thanks for the contest.
Good Luck Tomorrow on your Start!!!

IPK
Little Moose
CALI
IPK
I’ll go with Dorothy, too.
after seeing the picture of Ian holding the baseball, I’m going to say “Robin Williams”, due to the arm hair
“E” ? IPK seems to obvious, and thats more a press thing I think?
Flaco
Mini Moose

Dorothy!
Patrick

Gonna go with President.
Phil, you’re the man.
CALI

I’ll go with something different: SoCal.
PK
imagine if youre a catcher and he throws a particularly nasty pitch are you gonna yell ” nice one IPK?
ipk is too awkward to use in casual conversation ergo id say PK
M&M …. just being different and thats what i would call him instead of mini moose!! i would abreviate. M&M is my answer
skills knows whats up keep it short and simple
Dorothy
ipk
Ok, so by now the first person to say “IPK” wins if it’s as simple a nickname as his initials. Whats with people still saying IPK although someone else has already said it?
Little leaguer? lol
Alfred E. Neuman
I’m going to go with Mr. Kennedy. Plus WWE’s Mr. Kennedy is from Green Bay WI, 1 hour away from me, so maybe that will bring some luck!!!
E
I.K.
IPK
Ehh idk…let’s go with Mini Moose.
Kenny!
E
Mighty Mouse
My guess is “Dot” short for Dorothy…
my guess too is IPK, which i got from pete abram over at his blog… i believe i saw that when he was live blogging and ian was pitching. btw, do we get a bonus for knowing the “P” in the name? i believe it’s Patrick which is Ian’s middle name… figured that would be worth a shot! 😉 go yankees!!
I will go with “Pee-Kay” PK.
IPK
IPK
I guess I will go with IPK also. Such a beautiful hat.
IPK!
mighty mouse….man i hope thats right lol
btw phil i have a friend named jeff schnapper coming down to spring training. he has a daughter and 2 sons if i win this and u c him by any small chance, tell him josh housman won this contest. i know thats a crazy request but thanks if u do remember i no that its almost impossible.

Well, everyone seems to be going with “IPK” as that’s the nickname used by Peter Abraham, and seemingly the other beat writers.
I’m going to go with “Mr. Kennedy” just to be different, though I think that it, too, has been someone’s guess.

mr. president
Im not sure why i think this is right, but im gonna go with mighty mouse. its worth taking a shot and to me ipk is just seems to easy.

Mighty Mouse
Mr. Kennedy
It sounds just too incredibly perfect with the way you young guys have been going… from nascar races to debates between monster trucks and “all my exes live in texas” and metallica mixtapes, i figure one of you HAS to be a wrestling fan, im almost CERTAIN Shelley Duncan DVR’s it… so that has to have been kicked around often…
Mr. Kennedy it is..
Thanks for the contest!
I’m going with Patty
I guess I will go with IPK as well as the other half million fans on this site!

I have done a termendous amount of reasarch into this question and have not been able to find any good information. So it is a crap shoot. Logical canidates include IPK, Mr. President and IKE. However, my experience in team sports and how merciless teammates can be, leads me to conclude that the correct answer must be DOROTHY. If that is not correct you guys should still start calling him that.
GO YANKEES–Met fans your team is old and getting older. Santana can only help you stop your inevitable three game losing streaks but he would have been nice to have the last game of last year’s season!
Ike
Thanks Phil- gonna go with “E”

I have to go with “E”, but if its actually IPK just about everyone said that.
I can’t imagine guys in the clubhouse going “hey IPK, can you grab my glove for me please!”
I am going to have to go with PATTY.
IPK
IPK seems too easy of a choice…how about “SPOCK” for the Vulcan Grip Change Up.

I’m gonna have to go with “Marilyn”… cause you know… Kennedys and all that. No idea how its relevant, but its a beauty of a hat and you might as well try right?

Keep saying IPK – maybe the last one who says it will win. Are we over 100 entries for that yet? Geez….
Unfortunately, Phil’s start today was cut short by rain. He only made it through 1 inning before the interruption. Hopefully they send him back to Legends to get some work in back there and keep him in line in the rotation for the 3/9 game down in Fort Myers.

Wow – people are really blowing up the comments section on this one.
I’m going with Dorothy, because I think that would be funny.
P.S. Maybe you can get Joba to sign and donate one of his superhero or TMNT t-shirts for a contest…

It has to be Dorothy.

Too many IPKs and it doesn’t sound right as a nickname. I’m going to go with:
DOROTHY
“E” like on entourage

I’m going with IPK also.
I hate to repeat everyone else but i’m going with IPK cause that is what he is called on RAB
Phil-
Thanks again for this great blog, It’s almost better than your pitching. (LOL).
After spending the last 24 hours thinking what it could possibly be, I came up with that;
IPK not, I know thats how the writers call him thats quite good to write but not to actually call like this.
Dorothy, I would call him like this if I would be his team mate(good wish here, lol.)
But my guess is they call him MISTERRRRRR KENNEDY!!
Dorothy
Little Moose?
Mighty Mouse
IPK seems too obivous so im goin with “Mighty Mouse”
pretty sure ive heard that somewhere else.
Go Yanks!!

Mr. President
I’ll try Little Moose. Thanks Phil!
IPK??
i know it’s been said…a lot
Little Moose
I’d go with IPK but it doesn’t seem like a name youd call someone in the clubhouse.
Mighty Mouse, but thats reserved to Damon Stoudamire
So my answer is “Kenny”
snapper
My guess is Alfred, as in Alfred E Neuman. Thanks for the contest Phil!!!
i read somewhere thats writes and most teamates call him IPK
The Chosen One
I’m going to guess “k”…. although it looks like a lot of people are going with IPK what the press calls him… Dorothy, what he was dressed as and mighty mouse, which i have heard before but have no idea why.
Michelle B

i would go with Alfred E. Neuman or “E” for short!
Kenny Boy
or “E” if you take out the “an” for “ian”
either way you get “E”
I would guess “E” for: Ian, Ears, or Elf.
IPK! 😀 (my first comment, you’ve gotten me hooked, thanks phil!)

wow, phil you really have a lot of comments to read. Let me code you a contest app. I’ll do it in ruby on rails. I have many celebrity clients. My biggest clients are rap artists (yes, well known ones) but I have a few rock bands as well.
It would be nice to add baseball stars to my client list.

Nice pitching yesterday …even if for only one inning…can’t wait to see a lot more of you on the mound.
Also …terrific article about you by Kevin Kernan of the New York Post. It’s refreshing to see an uplifting article every once in awhile. You are gaining many admirer’s Mr. Hughes …fans and otherwise …good work !!

I’m not sure if the contest is still going….but my guess is “IAN”
He does not have a nick name and is looking for one….if he needs a nickname then the best nick name I can think off….I-Ken (resembles “I CAN” as “I-KEN DO IT, I-KEN Strikeout 20 batters)
Mighty Mouse
I’m going with “E”.
I really hope I win the Justin Chamberlin hat.
