HA! Nice job. I hate it when it takes you 1/4 of the time to solve it then it does for me to write it!
Dempsey's parents were entertainers (vaudeville and acting) and you could say Dempsey dabbled in that himself with his rain delay antics, dressing in Weaver's jersey and sliding across the rain-soaked tarp.
Yeager gets credit for introducing the throat guard to the catcher's mask after having 9 splinters removed from his neck from a broken bat which struck him.
Porter replaced popular Buck Martinez with the Royals after a trade with from the Brewers. He was the second catcher (after Mickey Cochrane) to achieve 100 walks, runs, and RBI in a single season.
