The main reason I listed them like that is I wanted them to be more than a name. It "forced" me to do some research on each of them, for which I am thankful.
Funny you should mention Pud, as he is known for being the "first baseball player to be known for using a performance enhancer", that being the Brown-Sequard elixir which contained monkey testosterone, distilled from - you guessed it - monkey testicles.
He did that for one game in 1889.
Apparently, he also had the habit of covering his entire body in a protective layer of zinc.
