Default Gabby Street was hardly a stellar MLB player . .

. . . posting a career .278 OBP spread across 8 mostly part-time MLB seasons. Nevertheless, the "Old Sarge" had a handful of noteworthy accomplishments, including the record for the longest gap between MLB games -- 19 years. He also caught and mentored (one of) the greatest pitchers in MLB history during Walter Johnson's early years. He managed the St. Louis Cardinals to two pennants and one world championship and was Harry Caray's color man. But he is best remembered as the player who caught a fastball thrown from the top of the Washington Monument.
