Oscar "Happy" Felsch

A Milwaukee native and one of the best defensive center fielders in the league, Felsch was in his prime when the scandal ended his career at 29. He made costly misplays in the Series and later told a Chicago reporter he had taken $5,000. Indicted, acquitted in 1921, banned for life by Landis.
