LHP, 1906-1987. Long-time scout for the Bosox, he helped to land Carl Yazstrzemski. 1B, b. 1924. Had an unusual stance at the plate with both of his feet pointed at the pitcher. 2B OF, b. 1960. Speedy on the basebaths, but prone to strikeouts at bat and errors in the field. OF DH, b. 1939. These pudgy players had specialties, but were not flashy otherwise. Nelson was an expert on admiralty and patent law. The principle of “nonobviousness” that he articulated in Hotchkiss v. Greenwood (1850) remains as a criterion used to award patents. In other decisions he tended to defer to legislatures and established law. Brown’s career as a pinch hitter got off to a smashing start. Called upon to pinch-hit in his first major league at-bat, he swatted a home run. Poor fielding prevented him from becoming a Tiger starter. Of his 107 career pinch hits 16 were homers.
