It is generally regarded (where information is available) that Ferguson got his nickname because of his defensive prowess as a third baseman. Other stories credit his habit of swatting flies at the team hotel, and his alledged penchant for throwing baseballs at seagulls before games. I'd go with the first version.

What were the V'1s?
Pilotless flying bombs nicknamed Doodlebugs. Guided Missiles used by the Germans to attack London in 1944. Their effect was devastating, but they were interceptable, flipping the stub wing would throw off the gyro aiming device. The subsequent V2 went much, much higher & was not detectable in flight. Hitler thought these 'Miracle Weapons' would win the war.
