His college teammates at Rice used to call him "Fatty Kruk," but Houston Astros slugger Lance Berkman now has a more flattering nickname related to his physique.

Lance Berkman
With a .342 average and 28 homers, the Flexin' Texan has showed off his power in 2001.
Page 2 readers overwhelming chose "The Flexin' Texan" as Berkman's new nickname in this week's case of the Berman Files. The moniker flexed its muscles by garnering more than 32 percent of the more than 2,300 votes, easily outdistancing the second-place choice of Lance "Caution Men At" Berkman (18 percent).

Apparently some of our readers remember classic movies because Lance "Ingrid" Berkman finished third with 17.4 percent of the votes.

Page 2 editors also preferred "The Flexin' Texan," but "The Berkman of Alcatraz" and "The Legend of Berkman, Lance" got a few votes.

Thanks for voting, and check back next week for another edition of The Berman Files to affix a good nickname on athletes in desperate need of monikers.
