In 1908, the first airship disaster in the U.S. took place in Berkeley, Cal. A 450-foot long balloon collapsed and exploded, injuring 15 passengers and the inventor, John A. Morrell. The widest part of the cigar-shaped craft was 46 feet in diameter. It was fitted with six 200-h.p. gasoline engines.

As a Cal football player, the "Dread of Stanford" blocked a punt for a safety to give the Bears a 2-0 win in the 1901 Big Game. He later threw a Game 5 shutout to seal the Cubs' last championship in 1908. Hats off to the first Golden Bear in the majors! www.baseball-reference.com/o/overaor01.shtml

I'm going to go with Van Lingle Mungo for greatest name, or maybe Ugly Dickshot (yes, really), but Orval Overall is pretty high up the list.
