The story goes that Stanley Burrell received the nickname 'Hammer' while a batboy for the Oakland Athletics because he closely resembled Hank Aaron. Reggie Jackson takes credit for giving Burrell the Hammer nickname. He was a batboy for the Athletics between 1972-1980.
Burrell was born in Oakland, California. From 1972 to 1981, Burrell served as a batboy with the Oakland Athletics under colorful team owner Charlie Finley, who lived in the Midwest and for whom Burrell was his "eyes and ears." MC Hammer could be found outside the stadium dancing in an effort to earn enough money to attend the games. Finley saw his eagerness and entrepreneurial techniques which made him suitable for such a position, not to mention very entertaining. Burrell wanted to be a professional baseball player, but he did not catch on in any professional organization. He instead joined the Navy, where he served with Patron (Patrol Squadron) Forty Seven (VP-47) of Moffett Field in Mountain View, California, as a Petty Officer Third Class Aviation Store Keeper (AK3) until his honorable discharge. Through that experience, he acquired the nickname M.C. for being "Master of Ceremonies". He also had previously formed a gospel rap group known as the Holy Ghost Boys. But upon his return from the military he began performing music in clubs and started his own record label, Bust It.
The name MC Hammer came about because Stanley Kirk Burrell was a builder before getting into hip-hop. he found the beat of hitting the hammer interesting and began to create rhymes over the beat he would make with the hammer hence MC Hammer.
