  • Ham as Nickname

    Hello,

    May you know the origin of Ham as Nickname in Baseball, like Ham Hyatt?
    After a rookie campaign that saw him slash .282/.388/.599, post a 2.6 WAR in just 374 plate appearances, and win ROTY honors, Bob Hamelin has been of little use to the common baseballing fan. However…

    Some says it from Ham-handed others from Ham-fatter.

    In Hyatt's case it's simply a short version of his name - Robert Hamilton Hyatt.

    Same for Hamilton "Ham" Patterson and Thomas "Ham" Hamilton.

    None of them seem to qualify as "19th Century" players, by the way.
