• Rugger Ardizoia played two innings of one game in Major League Baseball, he's not exactly a well-known figure in baseball. The fact that a guy who played two innings in MLB also worked at the drug store doesn't seem like a particularly interesting fact. Isn't there something more interesting for the hook?

I agree. Apparently the company sponsored minor-league teams so there may be some interesting background in that. EEng (talk) 03:55, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
