- ... that Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Rube Waddell was purportedly so fascinated by fire engines, he would sometimes run off the field during games to chase them down? Source: Levy, Alan H.

@Sewageboy: This is quite an interesting fact, but the article does not appear to qualify under DYK's newness requirement. The Waddell article was created 18 years ago, has not been substantially expanded since 2008, and is not a recent "Good Article" promotion. Am I missing something?
