Nickname: I got my nickname a few years back from my sister’s pitching coach. My sister was a pitcher and I always caught her at her pitching lessons. Her name is Cora, so her pitching coach always called her “Cora The Explorer” and I was “Boots.” It started out as a joke, but the name stuck all the way to now. Everyone calls me “Boots,” even at school.
