| rdfs:comment | - Carroll Wilson Rasin Sr (June 4, 1881 - May 1, 1940) was a Democratic politician from Baltimore. In the early 20th century, Rasin participated in establishing the Federal League of professional baseball. He helped establish the Baltimore Terrapins in 1914. While the Federal League ultimately failed, competition for ticket sales from the short-lived Terrapins did contribute to Baltimore Orioles owner Jack Dunn's decision to sell Babe Ruth's contract.
