Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster, Vin Scully, tells a wonderful story of how current Atlanta Braves’ pitcher, David Norris, Jr., became known as “Bud.”   Norris was about three years old when he and his family entered a restaurant for a bite to eat.  Several of the adults ordered a beer with their meal.  When the waitress ask young David what he would like to drink he said, “Bud.”  His answer broke the family members up.  From that moment on, he became known as Bud.
