Yeah, I guess so, since "Little Ball of Hate" was given to Verbeek by teammate Healy as a funny send-up of Ferraro's "Big Ball of Hate".I wouldn't call that mean-spirited, more a compliment towards an intense player who played bigger than his size. You could have given that name to Theo Fleury or Darcy Tucker and it would have meant the same.
