Default Favorite Pre-1960 Obscure Player(s)
Posted By: Max Weder

There is a book from 2000 on Victory Faust:

Victory Faust: The Rube Who Saved McGraw's Giants (ISBN: 0967522102)
Schechter, Gabriel author.

As for obscure players, I always liked the name Leonidas Pyrrhus Funkhouser, who for some unknown reason changed his name to Leonidas Lee. His entire major league career was going 5 for 18 in 1877.
