This man acquired the negative nickname "Forty-Eight Hours" during the Civil War. While second in command to Robert Anderson at Fort Sumter, he reportedly fired the first Union shot in the Civil War. His corps commander, John Reynolds, was killed at Gettysburg, and he himself was controversially relieved of duty by his nemesis, George Meade, at that battle. The Mills Commission credited him with an erroneous invention which he supposedly created while at a cow pasture in Cooperstown. For 10 points, name this Union general who is credited with inventing baseball.
