  Doug Allison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Douglas L. Allison (July 12, 1846 - December 19, 1916) was the catcher for the 1869-1870 Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first fully professional baseball team.
Allison was a specialist catcher at a time when some of the better batsmen normally rested or substituted at other fielding positions.
In Cincinnati the most part of his job was simply to catch the ball --all the pitches of Asa Brainard and as many as possible pops and tips off the bat, a great number, since he could put the batter out by a catch on the first bounce.

 Baseball glove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A baseball glove or mitt is a large leather glove that baseball players on the defending team are allowed to wear to assist them in catching and fielding balls hit by a batter, or thrown by a teammate.
Some say the first player to use a baseball glove was Doug Allison, a catcher for the Cincinnati Red Stockings, in 1870, due to an injured left hand.
The first documented story of glove use however concerns Charles Waitt, a St. Louis outfielder-first baseman who in 1875 donned a pair of flesh-colored gloves.

 NPR : Baseball 'Glove Affairs'
In 1870, Allison was nursing an injured left hand after a long stretch behind the plate.
But when you'd caught eight games in nine days, as Doug Allison had, and you'd injured your left hand several times already that season handling the "swift" pitches (as they were described) of Cincinnati Red Stockings pitchers, you put comfort over valor.
The Cincinnati Commercial reported on June 28, 1870: "Allison caught to-day in a pair of buckskin mittens, to protect his hands." This dry note was tucked into a story on the team's game against the Washington Nationals, and it buried the news, as a reporter would say.

After years of watching his father with a practiced eye and perfecting his talent as an engine builder, Doug Yates has become a victorious engine builder in his own right and will one day be touted as one of the best ever in NASCAR history.
While a career in NASCAR is not what he had in mind when he attended North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C., it became the career path of choice for Yates in the early 1990s - the early days of RYR.
Preparing motors for Davey Allison in 1992, Yates' horsepower was key to Allison's five wins, 15 top-five and 17 top-ten finishes, and brought the RYR organization close to a NASCAR title as Allison was scored in third place after the season-ending event, 63 points short of the 1992 title.
