    For what full name is the Cy in Cy Young?

    Question #50514. Asked by robboy.

    		Cy Young's nickname was given to him by a young catcher helping to warm him up when he tried out with a minor league team in Canton, Ohio. The catcher told others that Young pitched as fast as a "cyclone." Reporters shortened the nickname to Cy.
