[edit] Biographical Information
Ted Kennedy pitched a couple years in the major leagues, but became more famous as an inventor and manufacturer. He invented an early type of glove, and a tutorial survives where he instructs the reader on how to throw the curveball. He eventually sold out to Al Spalding's company.
He died after being shocked while experimenting with a burglar alarm.
