On one of the posts on the current event page, a image of Wade Boggs HOF plaque was shown. Reading the plaque, which I have done in the past, I noticed that the last line reads "Legendary for his superstitions". Which of course is true, but made me think what are the most interesting, non-baseball achievement related items etc, mentioned on various players HOF plaques.

I'm sure the Wade Boggs superstitions, which could be called obsessions, are mentioned on his HOF plaque because they were baseball-related. All about preparing for the game, and what might explain 0-or-4.

Frank Chance's plaque doesn't ever say clearly that he was a major league player. Connie Mack's plaque suggests that he was one of the great catchers. Those don't answer the question but they fit the title of the thread.
