Question A little OT - this one threw me
I was working the Sunday crossword puzzle in my local paper and one of the clues was:

"Major league baseball hall of famer Warren"

It was five letters so I wrote in "Spahn", but I was wrong. Guess who it was.

And no one named "Concur" ever played, or was an umpire, or executive, in MLB.
