El Guapo
Rich Garces
El Guapo is Spanish for "the handsome one," and the accepted thought is that former Red Sox pitcher Rich Garces came up with the nickname himself or brought it with him from his childhood. Garces led a strong bullpen in the late 1990s and was pushing 275 pounds on the scale. He still was known as "El Guapo."
