Question: What was the nickname given to George McBrude who played briefly team that became the current Baltimore, Maryland MLB team?

The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in New York City, New York in the borough of The Bronx.  The New York Yankees are members of the American League (AL) East Division in Major League Baseball (MLB).  The Yankees have won the World Series 27 times, more than any other MLB team.  In baseball, the head coach of a team is called the manager, or more formally, the field manager.  The duties of the team manager include team strategy and leadership on and off the field.  Since starting to play as the Baltimore Orioles (no relationship to the current Baltimore Orioles team) in 1901, the team has employed 34 managers.  The current Yankee manager is Joe Girardi, the current general manager is Brian Cashman and the current owners are Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, who are sons of George Steinbrenner, who first bought the Yankees in 1973. <SEP> George Florian "Pinch" McBride (November 20, 1880 – July 2, 1973) was an American professional baseball shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, and Washington Senators from 1901 to 1920.  He started off with the short-lived Milwaukee Brewers (they moved to St. Louis, Missouri after the 1901 season and became the Browns), but he only had 12 at-bats in three games.  He was given the nickname "Pinch" for his ability to hit in the clutch.  After stints in semi-pro ball, he joined the Pirates in 1905 but was traded mid-season to the Cardinals.  He did not become a regular starter until the 1908 season, when he joined the Senators and became their everyday shortstop.  He never hit for a high average (his best season was in 1911 when he hit .235 with 11 doubles and 4 triples), but was very talented with the glove, leading the American League in fielding for four straight seasons (1912 – 1915). <SEP> The 1961 Major League Baseball expansion was the formation of two new Major League Baseball (MLB) franchises that started in time for the 1961 season.  The Los Angeles Angels and the Washington Senators were added to the American League (AL), becoming the 17th and 18th teams in MLB's two leagues.  The expansion franchise in Los Angeles became the second MLB team in the city, after the Dodgers moved there from Brooklyn in 1958.  The Senators replaced a previous franchise of the same name that moved to Minneapolis–St. Paul in 1961 and became the Minnesota Twins. <SEP> The Baltimore Orioles are an American professional baseball team based in Baltimore, Maryland.  The Orioles compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member of the American League (AL) East division.  As one of the AL's original eight charter franchises when the league was established in 1901, this particular franchise spent its first year as a major league club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the Milwaukee Brewers before moving to St. Louis, Missouri to become the St. Louis Browns.  After 52 often-beleaguered years in St. Louis, the franchise was purchased in November 1953 by a syndicate of Baltimore business and civic interests led by attorney/civic activist Clarence Miles and Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. The team's current majority owner is lawyer Peter Angelos.
