  • Herold Dominic "Muddy" Ruel was a major league catcher for 18 seasons with the St. Louis Browns, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, and the Chicago White Sox. As a player, Ruel is best remembered for scoring the Senators' winning run in Game 7 of the 1924 World Series. After retiring, Ruel spent a decade (1935-45) as a coach with the White Sox, before an unprecedented promotion after the '45 campaign, when he became an assistant to Commissioner of Baseball Happy Chandler. He worked with Chandler for only one year, 1946, before accepting his only managerial job with the Browns, where he led the 1947 team to a dismal 59-95 record, good for the American League cellar. Ruel also coached for the Cleveland Indians and was the general manager of the Tigers from 1954-56. In 1920, he was the Yankees catcher when Carl Mays' pitch hit Ray Chapman on the head, resulting in Chapman's death the next day. He later defended Mays and said that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Ruel was one of the few major leaguers to hold a law degree. He earned his from Washington University and was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.
