Without looking him up, except in Baseball Reference, what was Wilbur Snapp's claim to fame?

Didn't he teach a young Connie Mack how to fake the sound of foul tips?

Close --- Sort of


You might just take a wild stab at the answer and get it right.

Well, I could not find him on BBR...so, I'm calling uncle.


I have one for you though:

On this date (4/26) in 1902, Addie Joss made his major league debut by pitching a one-hitter with the only hit being by Jessie Burkett.

What other future Hall-of-Famer debuted with a one-hitter?

Deflection is not permitted in this thread.

Hint: Snapp is from Springfield, Ohio.

That hint did not help me.

I was trying to recall something like a sports-related museum or HOF there, but I think I was confusing it with Springfield, MA.

Correct - pretty amazing debuts. Seems like Luis Tiant may have had something close to that in his debut...I'll have to look it up. Tiant, of course, along with Minnie Minoso, should also be Hall-of-Famers! Before rose, before bonds, and before clemens!

Did he go on to have a long and illustrious career with Jim Crackle and Johnny Pop?

No, Greg, but a threesome was involved that did not include Crackle and Pop.

Did you say it was or was not Shea Stadium?

Since you said it was a threesome, I'll have to run out any guest musicians that the Beatles may have used.

Before Raymond has a heart attack, I am going to post the final clue.

Here's Wilbur, what did he do, where did he do it and who threw him out?

The organist who got thrown out of a game for playing 'Three Blind Mice'

I did find the answer using Baseball Reference, but it still feels like cheating so I will just keep the answer to myself so you can continue the fun.

Mays is first. This player started his major league career after Willie and retired before Willie.

Hint: He once had a date with The Supremes.
