Favorite Linemate: Daisy Buchanan

I'm watching the Sioux vs. Michigan Tech in hockey on my Mac and Tech has a player named "Jordan Baker." I think play-by-play man Pat Sweeney gets it, as he always refers to Baker by both first and last names and not simply as "Baker" as he normally would. Plus any time Baker is anywhere near the puck, Sweeney slips in a "Jordan Baker" somehow.

If I were at the game, I would be chanting "Gatsby! Gatsby! Gatsby!" whenever Baker is on the ice. I know "Carraway!" is the more appropriate chant, but "Gatsby" sounds better.
