Grid 1141 (12): Lower-left played in the Negro Leagues, fought at Iwo Jima as one of the first Black Marines...and at age 101, is the oldest living baseball player!
Grid 1133 (6): Left-center wanted to catch a baseball dropped from a plane but they somehow forgot to bring a baseball and dropped a grapefruit which splattered as he caught it. The Grapefruit League may have been named for this incident.
