Trivia question for the day

Can you name these pitchers based on their nicknames: Cy Young, Cy Old, Cy Future and Cy Clone

"Cy" Young's real name is Denton True Young.

And the Cy was shortened from Cyclone?

Wasn't Jim Palmer referred to as "Cy Old"?

Hint - all 4 were on the same pitching staff.

Musial6 - you're pretty warm.

My guess: Steve Stone, Jim Palmer, Mike Flanagan, Storm Davis.

3 out of 4 -
Jim Palmer - Cy Old
Mike Flanagan - Cy Young
Storm Davis - Cy Clone - because his windup was pretty much the same as Palmer's.

Apparently - these nicknames were given by Mike Flanagan

Steve Stone is not correct, though he did go 25-7 with the Orioles in 1980 and win the Cy Young award that year. He was referred to as Cy Present. Storm Davis became Cy Clone in 1982.

This article from the Washington Post has Cy Future as Scott McGregor. I had thought it was Dennis Martinez.

Did the O's have any Japanese pitchers? They could have called him Cy Onara
