Who gave Felix Hernandez the “King” title?
from wiki: Hernández has been given the nickname King Felix, a title that matches the moniker of NBA phenom LeBron James. The U.S.S. Mariner weblog invented the nickname in July 2003, when he was just starting out in the minor leagues.[5] Former Mariner Joel Piñeiro said that after Hernández arrived in the major leagues, his teammates sometimes teased him about the nickname by calling him “Queen Felix”.[6] Meanwhile, team CEO Howard Lincoln instructed the club’s broadcasters to avoid the nickname, to reduce the pressure it might put on Hernández and here’s a great article from the seattle PI about it: http://seattlepi.nwsource.
