Kentucky Baseball Help (ever so slightly O/T)

[jerseygary]

I was wondering if the board members here could help me out with choosing some interesting baseball players who either was born in Kentucky or played in Kentucky. It doesn't have to be super-star players, what I'm interested in is good stories with interesting hooks.

These are some of the guys I have so far:

Honus Wagner - played with Louisville
Earle Combs - born in KY and got his start with Lexington (with Happy Chandler)
Happy Chandler - played minor league ball in Lexington
Pee Wee Reese - Louisville native and started with the Colonels
Humpty Badel - actual hump-back who almost made it to the majors
Fred Toney - pitched a 17 inning no hitter for Winchester, KY
Jim Bunning - perfect game pitcher and senator
Mickey Stubblefield - Negro League player and 1st to integrate the KITTY League
Casey Stengel - got his pro start with Shelbyville/Maysville
Sammy T. Hughes - Louisville native and Negro League star of the 1930's

that's a few of the guys I have so far, but was hoping some of the Net54ers could suggest some I haven't thought of. I'm particularly lacking in pre-1880's players but any pre-1955 player with a great story is possible. Baseball in Louisville is very well documented so any other region would help immensely...
