John "Larry" McLean
I have always found John "Larry" McLean to be an interesting player. He was one of the tallest players of his generation at 6'5". He caught in the bigs for 13 seasons with 5 teams, most notably the Reds from 06-12. He was the first New Brunswick born Canadian to appear in the World Series. He had a lifetime avg. of .262 with 6 Home Runs. Somebody believed he resembled Lajoie, so he was nicknamed Larry. McLean battled the bottle throughout his career and ended up getting shot and killed by a Boston bartender during a barroom brawl. He was 39.

Roy Ellam, one of the Southern Leaguers in the T206 set died when a 150 LB weight fell off a fire escape onto his head.

In 1918, Orval Overall had an unsuccessful run for Congress and afterward became a banker.
I've always been fascinated with the careers players of the era undertook during the offseason and in retirement.
