Repack Haiku #429 (Von Hayes)

Which nickname is best:
Berman's Von "Purple" Hayes, or
Rose's "Five for One"?
 
1988 Donruss #207 Von Hayes

 
Chris Berman's colorful nickname is of course a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, while Pete Rose coined the name for the fact that the Indians traded Hayes to the Phillies for Jay Baller, Julio Franco, Manny Trillo, George Vukovich and Jerry Willard.
