Honus Wagner - No lights

Way back when Honus Wagner played, they didn't have stadium lights. When it got dark, you couldn't see what you were doing very well.

One time, Honus was playing in the outfield and the ball was hit his way, but he lost it in the darkness. Fortunately, a rabbit was running by at the time and he grabbed it and threw it to first for the out.

This was the very first time anyone was ever thrown out by a hare.
