Wikipedia - "Oliver Hazzard Marcelle (June 21, 1895 - June 12, 1949), nicknamed 'Ghost', was an American third baseman in the Negro Leagues for a number of teams around the league from 1918-1931. He also played shortstop. A Creole born in Thibodaux, Louisiana, he batted and threw right-handed. While the Negro Leagues had many statistics recorded in the 1920s, Marcelle put up outstanding numbers. In 1922 with the Bacharach Giants, he posted a .379 batting average. Again in 1924, he hit well, putting up a .352 average for Bacharach and the New York Lincoln Giants. Although 'Ghost' was a top-class hitting infielder, his defensive skills took center stage by comparison."
