Certain Umpires I will never forget b/c of horrible calls like that. Doug Eddings for example, the 2005 White Sox still owe him a ring for that dropped 3rd strike call in the ALCS.

Hounus Wagner?

Wagner is correct. I've been to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory...and I know for a fact that Wagner was the first player to officially endorse the bat. Not only was his autograph the first to appear on a louisville slugger but "The Flying Dutchman" was the first pro-athlete to endorse any sort of sports equipment.
