Regarding Ted Lyons. Lyons spent 21 years as a member of the White Sox, including 20 between 1923 and 1942. In 1943, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps (he was too old to be drafted) and was out of baseball for three seasons. In 1946, he returned to pitch in five games at the age of 45, and he was hired as player-manager for the last half of that season. The Louisiana native is the only Hall of Fame pitcher with more walks than strikeouts, and his 3.67 ERA is seventh-highest among Hall of Fame pitchers.
