Hall of Fame player John "Bid" McPhee

At age 17, he began his pro career in Davenport, Iowa, and after two seasons there, took a stable, good-paying job in Denver as a clerk in a dry-goods store in 1880, where he dabbled in baseball but did not play professionally that season. His first use of a fielder's glove in April 1896, 10 years after gloves were introduced. His fielding record as a second baseman in 1896 would last 29 years.

'Crank or Krank' by Pat "Deacon" Massengill

Crank is korrect. There wasn't anything German about it. It comes from Kricket. Since that was a 360 sport, spectators had to position themselves very far from the action. In order to get themselves heard by the ballists, they used a wooden "crank" -- a child's toy that makes a klackity-klak sound. Thus, spectators were "cranks". Since many early base ballists migrated over from Kricket, their "cranks" kame with them.
