Notes:
Clarence Ginger Beaumont from Honey Creek, Wisconsin, was the first batter ever in the World Series. He faced Cy Young and flew out to center field.

Marion, Ohio is the birthplace of Aubrey Huff and the burial place of President Warren G. Harding.

I believe that Al Albuquerque is a made up name.
