Thomas William Leach (November 4, 1877 - September 29, 1969) was a center fielder and third baseman in Major League Baseball in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, playing 19 big league seasons. He also participated in the first modern World Series in 1903 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, hitting four triples to set a record that still stands, and he played with legendary players such as Honus Wagner, Dummy Hoy, Three Finger Brown, Frank Chance, Heinie Groh, Max Carey and Casey Stengel. Leach played professionally for the Louisville Colonels, Pirates, Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds. Leach was well-known for his small stature and was nicknamed "Wee Tommy". He once led the National League in home runs with a total of six. Each one was of the inside-the-park variety, which was not unusual in the "dead ball era". 49 of Tommy Leach's 63 career home runs were inside-the-park, which is still a National League record. After his playing career was over, Leach managed in the minor leagues and did some scouting for the Boston Braves. He eventually retired in Florida where he went into the citrus business. from Tommy Leach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Howard (Howie) Camnitz (August 22, 1881 - March 2, 1960) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies (1913[end]) in the National League and for the Pittsburgh Rebels (1914-15) in the Federal League. A native of Covington, Kentucky, he batted and threw right handed. In an 11-season career, Camnitz posted a 133-106 record with 915 strikeouts and a 2.75 ERA in 2085.1 innings pitched. Camnitz pitched briefly with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1904 and 1906. In his first full season in 1907, he had a 13-8 record with a 2.15 ERA in 180 innings, including a five-inning no-hitter against the New York Giants on August 23rd. The next year he went 16-9 with a 1.56 ERA and 15 complete games in 19 starts. With a workhorse approach and an excellent curveball, Camnitz collected three 20-win seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1909-12, leading his team to the 1909 World Series after winning 25 games in the regular season and tying Christy Mathewson for the National League lead winning percentage (.806). Camnitz pitched at least 240 innings for seven consecutive years (1908-14) with a career-high 283 innings in 1909, winning 20 games in 1911 and 22 in 1912. After a 6-17 start in 1913, he was sent by the Pirates to the Philadelphia Phillies in the midseason. He pitched in just nine games for them and had a 3-3 record, then jumped to the Pittsburgh Rebels in the Federal League in 1914 and posted a 14-19 mark. After battling arm problems, he retired from playing in 1915. Camnitz died in Louisville, Kentucky, at age of 78. from Howie Camnitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
