So Nolan and I know this amazing gentleman Cliff from my time back on the bird site. I thought I had finally stumped him. Not so much.
It is my duty to inform you that Cliff actually knew this. Song pick to follow. In the meantime… the correct answer is Octavius Catto.

::Tip of the Cap to Cliff!::
PS Please tell us that Octavius was the Centre Fielder.

Alas, no. He was a shortstop.

FIELDS, PIRATES COOL DOWN BRAVES
Bombs away! The Pittsburgh offense, long dormant, exploded: HRs from Cox, Mauch, Marshall, and Kiner gave starter Wilmer Fields plenty of breathing room. He logged his 10th win. Braves win streak stops at 9.
PIT (37-44) 8 11 1
BOSB(36-44)1 4 0

In how many different leagues did Wilmer Fields win MVP honors?
One guess only.
