Zack Wheat

Zachariah Davis Wheat, nicknamed “Buck”, was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a left fielder from 1909 to 1927, most notably as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers who were known as the Robins at that time.

“One of the grandest guys ever to wear a baseball uniform, one of the greatest batting teachers I have ever seen, one of the truest pals a man ever had and one of the kindliest men God ever created,” Casey Stengel said of Wheat.
