My first thought was, wait, the Little Bighorn was 1876, not 1828...

Of course, you meant 1920, with Tris Speaker and Joe Wood.

Thanks, my fingers got displaced and I seldom proof read but should

Speaker was great as usual but Smokey Joe was very much a non-factor. Jim Bagby Sr. and Stan Coveleski lied the way.

Bagby and Coveleski led the way but as far as we know, were truthful.

Wood was a happy enough fellow despite blowing out his pitching arm in 1913, but he was known as "Smoky Joe."

Jim Carrey is an actor (an over-actor in fact,) while Harry Caray was a baseball announcer.
