They started calling him Clyde during his playing days when he bought a wide brimmed hat that reminded folks of the movie (Bonnie and Clyde.)
"The first time I wore the hat, everybody laughed at me. My teammates and, I remember, the guys on the other team, because they'd never seen anything like that. But that's part of my individuality," he says. "Like, when I was in high school, I never drank, because I'm not afraid of being ostracized from a group if there's something I don't want to do."
