My favorite is salary wing, for the arm a pitcher threw with. That was popular for a time
A close second that was extremely popular back in the day was bingle. I always thought it was the original form of the word single, but the more I read, the more I saw it used for just the word hit in general, didn't have to be a single. A guy could have four bingles and hit for the cycle

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
