Default Notable screw ups

Not sure if all these qualify...

Heinie Zimmerman got ejected five times over a course of 30 days...mainly for cussing out umpires

Zack Wheat once kicked a ball into the stands allowing the other team to score three runs, costing his team the game. Later in his career, it once took him five minutes to round the bases after he hit a home run...he pulled a muscle and his legs gave out. He had to rest at second base for a couple minutes before he could finish rounding the bases.

Red Murray was once fined $100 by John McGraw for hitting a home run....Murray had been given the bunt signal.

On a different occasion, McGraw once fined Christy Mathewson for having poor control...Mathewson threw a dinner roll at McGraw, but accidentally hit McGraw's date instead.

Jerry Downs became infamous for armed robbery during the depression.

Jack Powell once hit a heckler with a fastball, knocking out four teeth.

The list of strange stories is almost endless for Rube Waddell.

All of these colorful characters can be found in the T206 set.
