Clarence Hanford "Red" Munson (July 31, 1883 – February 19, 1957) was an American catcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1905.[1]
In February prior to the 1905 season, Munson was ice skating on the Ohio River to keep in shape when he saved the life of an elderly man who had fallen through the ice.[2]
