Default Deadball Era Player Other Talents?

Good Day All!
I do Hope that You & Yours are Enjoying This Season's Events...

I was just thinking about how talented Athletes' can be, away from their chosen Profession! For instance, I know that Christy Mathewson was a Phenomenal Checker Player. He would take on the Best of the Best!
In one of the books that I read about him, Matty took on like 5 guys at once(maybe more?) and beat them All... it seems he rarely, if ever lost!

So, I'm Interested in seeing what you Guys & Gals can tell me about any other Prewar Athletes'(Mainly Baseball), that had other Talents, However obscure...?

This Should Be Interesting... imho
