The attributed article does not demonstrate what is stated about the nickname's origin. The nickname "Storm" existed in his youth (as correctly stated, he mother gave it to him). "Cyclone" came about after reaching the big leagues. Teammate Mike Flanagan tagged the nickname on Davis to extend a joke he made in 1980, that the Orioles had Flanagan, the then reigning Cy Young winner, Cy Old (Jim Palmer), Cy Present (Steve Stone - on his way to 25 wins and, in fact, the winner that year) & a Cy Future (Scott McGregor). When Storm Davis arrived with a delivery looking very much like Palmer's, Flanagan called Davis Cy-clone, as in a clone of Palmer. Part of why that nickname worked is that Davis was already tagged with the nickname Storm. 73.162.137.74 (talk) 15:47, 16 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
His family was moved from Texas to Jacksonville, FL, by Firestone; his dad George managed a shop in Jacksonville. Having recently coached the Texas Little League Pony Leagues champions, his dad reached out to the local baseball community. He founded the Southside Athletic Association Twins, along with hospital administrator Tom Crankshaw. Storm was 6 or 7 years old. He already had the nickname Storm by the time the Twins were formed. I know as I played on the original team, I believe in the spring of 1966. His father George eventually left Firestone and became the head football and baseball coaches, as well as athletic director, for University Christian School where Storm was a standout pitcher. His mother affectionally called him Stormy. The Twins were sponsored by an Aamco Transmission shop on Phillips Highway in Jacksonville. Nevrologbill (talk) 19:05, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
