Clues were: "... When Tom beat Ted and Bill."
1912 presidential election: (Thomas) Woodrow Wilson (early in his life when he was thinking of running for the Senate from Virginia, he did have cards made up "Thomas Wilson". He went to his middle name, Woodrow. By the way, long-time Boston Red Sox owner, Tom Yawkey's real name was: Austin Thomas Yawkey. Ted and Bill were Teddy Roosevelt, Progressive Republican, "Bull Moose" and William Howard Taft.

Bedient defeated Giants in deciding game of 1912 World Series.
That win was his high-water mark.
Jumped to Buffalo in the Federal League (I believe that were nicknamed "The Blues").
One of my favorite Boston Braves players, Sibby Sisti, hailed from Buffalo.
He ended up pitching for the Toledo Mud Hens. Klinger's (MASH) favorite team.
