dude was an absolute character

In between those events, he won 22 games for the Philadelphia Athletics; […] toured the nation in a melodrama called The Stain of Guilt; courted, married, and became separated from May Wynne Skinner of Lynn, Massachusetts; saved a woman from drowning; accidentally shot a friend through the hand; and was bitten by a lion."

the wikipedia just RANDOMLY DROPPED that he was bitten by a LION with no context?!?
