....Frank White died in 1938. He was a chef. Without cheating by Googling it or using some other search engine, tell me:

What was believed to be his claim to fame?

He was married to Mrs. White from Clue?

No, but good guess.

Isn't he the guy who appeared on the Cream of Wheat box? I can't remember if he invented cream of wheat, but I'm fairly certain he is the one who appeared on the box.

Yeah, but I hear the dirty old man always had a roving eye for Miss Scarlet.
Love, Ima

Is he related (father or uncle) to the Frank White who played major league baseball, was a Yankee announcer and then National League president?

Bingo.

You really knew that without cheating? How does one gain this knowledge?

Yeah, I knew that without cheating. I have no idea how I knew that - it is just one of many many useless facts that I know. Friends used to call me Cliff Claven because I am a repository of completely useless information.

I liked Rolex's guess! Was going to be mine, but he beat me to it!
