'''Edward Samuel Appleton''' (February 29, 1892 – January 27, 1932) was born in Arlington. He was a [[pitcher]] in [[Major League Baseball]] who played for the [[Brooklyn Robins]] in the 1915 and 1916 seasons. Appleton was the victim of a trick by [[St. Louis Cardinals]] manager [[Miller Huggins]] during a 1915 game.<ref name="Burke">{{cite book|last1=Burke|first1=Larry|title=The Baseball Chronicles - A Decade-by-Decade History of the All-American Pastime|date=1995|publisher=Smithmark Publishing|location=New York, NY|isbn=0831706805|pages=40}}</ref> Tied in the 7th inning, and with two outs for the Cardinals and a runner on third base, Huggins called out to Appleton 'Let me see that ball'. Appleton tossed the ball to Huggins, who stepped aside. The ball flew past him and the Cardinal runner scored.<ref name="Burke" /> The Robins protested, but the umpire told them that because time had not been called, the ball was still in play and Appleton was throwing it at his own risk.<ref name="Burke" />
