  BIOPROJ.SABR.ORG :: The Baseball Biography Project.
Voted by the Pittsburgh fans as the greatest right-handed pitcher in Pirates history, Deacon Phillippe may have been the greatest control pitcher ever--his 1.25 walks per nine innings is the lower ratio of anyone who hurled after the modern pitching distance was established in 1893.
Deacon left the Pirates after a few ineffective appearances in 1911 but returned to baseball the next year as the player-manager of the Pittsburgh entry in the outlaw United States League, which played its home games in Exposition Park, the Pirates having abandoned it in 1909.
Following his baseball retirement, Phillippe worked briefly for a steel mill, owned and operated a cigar store, scouted for the Pirates, worked in their ticket office, held a post in the county parks department, and was a court bailiff, all in the greater Pittsburgh area, where he lived the rest of his life.

  Ryan Phillippe - Biography
Phillippe, who was born September 10, 1974 in New Castle, Delaware, has quickly risen from obscurity to become one of the most talked-about and drooled-over actors of his generation.
The film's success, coupled with Phillippe's exposure from previous films, was enough to propel him into two leading roles in 1998, first as a blue-haired club baby in Playing By Heart, and then as a starry-eyed bartender in the critically disemboweled 54, a film which showcased Phillippe's abs over his acting.
Co-starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as his scheming half-sister and Phillippe's real-life wife-to-be Reese Witherspoon, the film proved to be one of the year's most guilty pleasures, winning Phillippe further acclaim in the hearts and minds of lust-struck women and men alike.
