Question
What pitcher for the Orioles did Earl Weaver nickname "Half-Pack"?

Answer
Hi Amanda,

When you first sent this question the other day I had no idea of the answer.  Today though I suddenly thought of Don Stanhouse.  I did a little searching around and discovered that Earl Weaver had in fact nicknamed relief pitcher Don Stanhouse "Half-a-pack" as in Weaver could smoke half-a-pack of cigarettes while watching/ worrying about Stanhouse trying to finish a game.

Hope you didn't need the answer right away!

Best Wishes,

Geoff
