Ray Chapman
Raymond Johnson Chapman is an American baseball player. He's spent his entire career as a shortcut for the Cleveland Indians. Chapman was hit in the head by a throw from the Yankees player Carl Mays and died 12 hours later. He was the only player to die from an injury during one of the major league games. His death caused the baseball team to set a rule asking the referee to replace the ball whenever it got dirty. Chapman's death and health concerns also led to a spray gun ban after the 1920 season. Chapman's death is one of the cited examples to justify wearing a polished helmet. However, it took more than 30 years to pass the rule requiring their use.
