The first catcher to use shin guards.
Roger Philip Bresnahan (June 11, 1879 – December 4, 1944), nicknamed "The Duke of Tralee" for his Irish roots, was an American player in Major League Baseball who starred primarily as a catcher and a player-manager. He introduced the use of the catcher’s shin guard in 1907 and was elected in 1945 to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
