John “Bonesetter” Reese worked with many baseball players and other famous people in the first part of the twentieth century. Today we might call him a physical therapist, although he did not have a formal degree. “Bonesetting” is a Welsh term for the treatment of muscle and tendon strains.
Masanori Murakami was the first Japanese-born player in the major leagues.
Infielder Steve Staggs was drafted by Minnesota in the fourteenth round in 1970, but did not sign.
