Today in Comics History, June 11: Happy birthday, Roger Bresnahan!

Born on this day in 1879: Major League baseball catcher and manager Roger Bresnahan, nicknamed "The Duke of Tralee," for his parents' hometown in Ireland, and also his habit of singing "Tra-lee! Tra-lee!" as he ran around the bases.
