In 1985, Madison County native Joseph Floyd “Arky” Vaughan was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The nine-time All Star Team shortstop hit a lifetime average of .318 and hit .300 or better in ten of his approximately sixteen years in the major leagues. Vaughan, who is shown here sliding into base, drowned in a boating accident in 1952.
