Horace Fogel was a sportswriter who became manager of the New York Giants in 1902. His time as Giants manager is best remembered for his attempt to move Christy Mathewson to first base. He was fired 41 games into the season and replaced by Heinie Smith, who put an end to such nonsense. Instead, he tried to move Mathewson to shortstop.
