Wally Kopf: Walter Henry "Wally" Kopf (July 10, 1899 – April 30, 1979) was a German American professional baseball player whose career spanned two seasons, which included one in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the New York Giants (1921).  He played only two games, making his debut on October 1, 1921 and his final appearance the next day.  In those games, he played third base, compiling one hit in three at bats.  In 1922, he played in the minor leagues with the Oakland Oaks, Reading Aces, and the Newark Bears.  Before pro-baseball, Kopf attended Dartmouth College (1919–21).  He served in World War I.  After his baseball career was over, he moved to Cincinnati where he worked as a building contractor.  He was the younger brother of professional baseball player Larry Kopf.

Friel was born in Lewisburg, West Virginia, and his brother Bill Friel was also a professional baseball player.  He began his minor league baseball career in 1883, and continued through the end of the 1896 season.  During that timespan, he played for the notable minor league team, London Tecumsehs and two Major League Baseball teams, the Syracuse Stars in 1890 , and the Philadelphia Athletics in 1891 .

In addition to his writing, Leavitt hosted one of Maine's earliest television shows, which was devoted to fishing, hunting and the out-of-doors.  Leavitt's stature within the state was such that columnist Roy Blount Jr. wrote of the Maine sportswriter that he "fishes with Ted Williams and Red Smith – or, rather, they trout-fish with him."  An early conservationist and son of a paper mill union leader, Leavitt urged the state of Maine to acquire lands for public use; one such preserve is today named for the sportswriter and television personality.
