I am finding no online reference linking Lou Piniella with the nickname “The needler.” I am not finding any outfielder, Yankees or not, with this nickname. The reference cited above is from yahoo answers and the answer there contains no reference. Lou Piniella He has been nicknamed “Sweet Lou,” both for his swing as a major league hitter and, facetiously, to describe his demeanor as a player and manager. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Piniella The Official Site of Chicago Cubs: Nicknamed “Sweet Lou,” Piniella was named Rookie of the Year in 1969 with Kansas City when he batted .282 with 11 home runs and 68 RBIs.
