History: The '40 Cats featured an outfielder named Henry Prince Oana, a Hawaiian player whose professional career began with encouragement from none other than Ty Cobb, who had seen Oana play as a youngster on a barnstorming team in Japan. Oana's Hawaiian heritage would challenge the nature of color barriers in professional baseball during a fascinating career that also saw him transition from an outfielder to a pitcher while in Fort Worth to make a late-career return to the Major Leagues.

History: Named for the Purity Oil Company, the Purity 99 represented Calgary, Alberta, in Canada's Big Four League. The most famous player in the club's history was an outfielder named Glen Gorgeous Gorbous, a local kid who went on to play for the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies, and who later at an exhibition with the Omaha Cardinals threw a baseball 445 feet and 10 inches, a Guinness World Record that still stands to this day.
