The claim to notability is tenuous, but he did get the patent for T-Ball. So he barely qualifies for |"The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". Apparently, he gets a mention in ''How to coach tee ball without going insane,'' but I don't have access to this book. I did not find anything on Galenet-- and a notable author should have a mention in Contemporary Authors. A review of his works on World Cat does not show any that meet Wikipedia:Notability (books). ''Just hoeing my Row'', the book listed on Bigwords, is only in two libraries, and does not meet minimal requirements. I find no indication that he meets  as an author. Cheers
