Bullfrog

From BR Bullpen

Bullfrog (no last name given) is a fictional baseball player mentioned in the 1983 film, A Christmas Story, by Old Man Parker (played by Darren McGavin) when he tells his wife that the Sox (probably the Chicago White Sox since the movie is set in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana) traded "Bullfrog" for "Four Eyes" Shottenhoffer, a utility infielder. The entirety of the dialogue about the two players is as follows:

Old Man Parker: "They traded Bullfrog. I don't believe it."

Mrs. Parker: "What's that?"

Old Man Parker: "Well, for Christ's sake, the Sox traded Bullfrog... the only player they've got, for Shottenhoffer. "Four Eyes" Shottenhoffer, a utility infielder. Got a whole goddamned team of utility infielders."

Mrs. Parker: "That's nice."
