What’s Your 19-Century Baltimore Orioles Nickname?
Because I am a man of many pressing obligations, I’ve cooked up one of those random-thingy generators. Mine will tell you what your nickname would have been had you played for the 19th-Century Baltimore Orioles. As you are no doubt aware, the Orioles of that vintage were a tough bunch of men. They drank all the liquor in America, they went decades without sleeping, they brawled against Norse gods, and they saw all of their children killed gruesomely by primitive farming equipment. All of these things are facts.
Anyhow, go here and find your 19th-Century Baltimore Orioles nickname.
Mine? “The Salty Bronco.”

Ol’ Scotch-Irish Rapist
Murder Mittens…
Not sure about that one.
Mine also appears to be “The Salty Bronco.”
Perhaps variety was not the spice of 19th c. life?
“Manslaughter Klondike”
Also got Manslaughter Klondike, long lost twins! Our parents must have not know any other names.
“Death to All Things” was mine. No joke.
“Desolation O’Bannion”
LOVE IT.
Dried Gruel in Me Beard.
Proof that this is accurate: I have a beard (!).
Pappy Syphilis
Proof that this is accurate: depending on the standard of evidence and moral fortitude of the diagnostician, I may or may not be/have both!
Constable Puncher
“Chippy Triples.”
I kind of feel like a gentleman of the night with that name.
Btw, Dave Cameron’s would be “Lady Pickaxe.”
I am also Salty Bronco.
Hmm. I put like 25 different nicknames in. Go figure. I suppose in a sense we are all Salty Broncos.
Pappy Syphillis
“The Promise of Famine.” I heartily approve.
Smallpox Danny.
Constable Puncher
Prisoner’s Tears.
Awesome!
Another Constable Puncher here… “Righteous spiker of third basemen and tireless drinker of corn liquor”
Apologies if this is a repeat as some weird stuff just happened on this computer: I couldn’t resist typing in some of the actual original 19th century Baltimore Orioles and Willie Keeler comes up as:
“Born Rightwise, With Pocketwatch”
