[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Correct Response/Question’]Who is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?[/spoiler]
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his authorship of the Sherlock Holmes stories. A lesser known fact was that Doyle was an avid cricketer, playing 10 first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club. His highest score as a batsman was 43 and he took one career first-class wicket: W. G. Grace. (The baseball equivalent would have been having one career MLB strikeout as a pitcher: Babe Ruth.)
