    Bill Voiselle (1942-1950), who lived in Ninety Six, South Carolina.

    While born in Greenwood, South Carolina, Voiselle grew up in the nearby town of Ninety Six. He received special permission from the National League to wear the number 96 on his jersey as a way to honor his hometown. At the time, this was the highest number ever worn in major league baseball (until Mitch Williams switched from #28 to #99 in 1993).

    Dick Allen wore the name Wampum on his jersey when he played for Oakland in 1977. He was from Wampum PA.

    I can't believe YA won't print his name. He refused to be called Richie, saying that was a little boy's name.
