MC Hammer was named because of his likeness to Hammerin' Hank Aaron. To get the answer to this question, you need to look at where he was when he got this name. He was a ball-boy for the Oakland A's games in the 70's. The only player from that team at that time on the Maxim contest list was Reggie Jackson.

What does MC hammer stand for?

He was a sailor in a P-3 squadron at NAS Moffet Field. When a Naval Flight Officer or Naval Aviator went for their Mission Commander check ride they had to make sure that all the tools were accounted for, usually this is "hey are all the tools there?" "Yes sir, sign right here." The flight takes off and our guy shows up and says "hey I found this hammer." It's an automatic failure for the check ride. Thus he took on the name of Mission Commander Hammer or MC Hammer.
