Baseball's Weirdest Hall of Famer

He was the best pitcher Major League Baseball ever saw, but he would often walk off the pitch mid-game to go fishing. He was a star actor, but he could never remember his lines. On multiple occasions, he saved people from burning buildings, to the chagrin of actual firefighters. He wrestled alligators, literally killed two birds with one stone, was nearly fired for eating animal crackers in bed, may have been involved in a conspiracy to fix the World Series, and saved an entire Kentucky town from a flood. And he was autistic. This late-19th-century baseball player may have been the closest thing there is to a real-life Forrest Gump. What’s the best thing Rube never did?
