Biographical Information
"Next to Walter Johnson, the best man on the Washington team was Carl Sawyer, but he wasn't in the game. He is baseball's newest clown, and he cut up antics on the coaching lines which kept the crowd in good humor." - from an article in the New York Times, April 13, 1916
Carl "Huck" Sawyer was in the majors in 1915-16 with the Washington Senators, getting 37 plate appearances each season.
