Rath was the batter hit by Eddie Cicotte in the 1919 World Series as Cicotte's signal to gamblers that the "fix was on" in that series.
In an era before on-base percentage was a valued statistic, Rath was known for his ability to get on base by drawing bases on balls.
His name was sometimes reported as Maurice Rath.
