Mine is Sir Didi Gregorius:

He was part of the Netherlands team that won the 2011 IBAF Baseball World Cup. In return for winning the title, Gregorius says, the players on the team were each knighted in Curaçao instead of being given money as a reward.

So now, Gregorius goes by "Sir Didi Gregorius" on Twitter. Because, why not? He is one.

"Some people actually go, they call me Sir Didi and everything," he said. "But I don't really mind if you call me Didi. It doesn't really matter."

Derek Sanderson Jeter officially has passed the postseason torch now to Mariekson Julius Gregorius, as well, a new do-it-all shortstop in pinstripes leading the way to a series victory yet again.

 

Born in Amsterdam and raised mostly in Curacao, Gregorius famously and impressively speaks four languages fluently. We will add the language of baseball as the fifth for No. 18, who has handled the unenviable task of replacing the legendary Numbah 2 and Mr. November in the Bronx with class, fun and excellence, particularly this season on both sides of the ball.

 

By the way, in case you were wondering, here is how you say Mr. October in each of Gregorius’s native or learned tongues:

 

In English, well, you already know.

 

In Spanish, it is Senor Octubre. In Dutch, it is Meneer Oktober. In Papiamento, it is similar, Mener Oktober.

 

On the back page of Thursday’s Daily News, the headline also blared: Sir October.
