[edit] Biographical Information
Clarence Blethen is famous for a story about his false teeth. Supposedly, he took them out while playing ball, and put them in his back pocket. One day, in 1923 while playing in the majors, he slid into second base and, as the story goes, "bit himself in the ass".
Blethen played two years in the majors and many years in the minors.
