But according to Wikipedia, it is in fact Feldman.

Also, the guy who played Feldman, Pat Kilbane is listed as Feldman on IMDB.

Sadly...

Josh was a little off…beasticon is a description, not a nickname.

Although there are only two Rangers who warrant that description.

Mariano Rivera

Takes the mound in the top of the 9th against Boston, Yanks up 2-0…

He goes single-HBP-single-HBP to the first 4 batters, loading up the bases with the tying run on third…

Then goes K-popup-K to get the save.

Where we’re hitting the ball to the track, but not actually doing anything offensively. Although just as I write this, Boggs hammers a double. Come on Davis!
