My local library had a series about high school baseball players, and about all I can remember is that the catcher was Chet. Bad info, I know.
My high school had a series about two brothers in probably the 1930s, who were a racing team. This is where I learned the name Barney Oldfield, a pioneer in American racing, and who by total coincidence gave my grandmother driving lessons, she said. He was dating a girl in town, and would take locals out for lessons, probably to show what a nice guy he was, IDK.
Any one got some author ideas?
