1. Morgan Bulkeley, first NL president, had a very short tenure and really only go the position by pure luck. My understanding is that the initial NL owners drew straws to pick who would get what position.

2. Candy Cummings, a very good NA pitcher, who alledgedly invented the curveball, but tons of evidence contradicts this.

3. Tommy McCarthy, had a couple really good seasons in a great offensive era, supposedly invented inside baseball, but again I don't think he deserves sole credit.
