Bob “Death to Flying Things” Ferguson
"A little while ago I came up with the idea of asking various baseball fans to pick their favorite obscure baseball figure from the past. As the word 'figure' indicates, the person doesn’t have to be a player; it can be anyone employed within the game itself, by a team or by a league, including umpires, coaches, scouts, and front office personnel (but not the media). My idea is that time and a focus on sabermetrics and efforts to determine who should be in the Hall of Fame have left many uniquely interesting and/or appealing retired/deceased baseball people by the wayside. I’m asking for help in bringing to light some old baseball people who are worth remembering."
