In 1914, the Pirates had a catcher named Sam Brenegan. In his first major league game, he came on in the sixth inning on defense, as the Pirates were losing 8-1 to the Cardinals. Fred Clarke gave George Gibson the rest of the game off and gave a 23-year-old rookie his debut. With a man on base, the pitcher uncorked a wild pitch and Brenegan walked after the ball allowing the runner to move up. A few pitches later, a passed ball tips off his glove, hurting his finger. Brenegan walked after the ball, picks it up and walks to the bench, taking himself out of the game. Needless to say, the Pirates dropped him and he never played in the majors again. Brenegan is in the 1914 Zeenut set
