Was Wallace LeGrande Henderson -- the man who wrote the words to The Galloping A's, a song celebrating that club's 1929 World Championship -- just an enthusiastic fan who wanted to celebrate the success of his team? No, he was a lyric-writing carpetbagger, as evidenced by the fact that he also penned The Peppy Pirates when Pittsburgh grabbed the flag four years prior.
Baseball fans will please note the name of the song's composer.
