Nicknames:

Hitting Machine or Iron Man

I believe that was his nickname in Korea.

No. It always was.

What an odd thing to make an issue of.

They have IRON in Korea. And I assume that it was a tribute to both Ripken and Gehrig.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't Kim have a pretty sizeable consecutive games streak in Korea?

Also, I'd like to see the O's get more guys who could potentially walk 70-80 times a full season as a starter. Whether or not they have an appropriate nickname.

I imagine his agent is quite persuasive; see the fourth photo down at:

Not making an issue. It was largely in jest. Something I noticed scrolling over his page. A new oriole being referred to as iron man just seemed funny to me.

I took it as offended.

If it was in jest then nm.
