A New York production company is seeking information on Charles Faust, a Marion man who spent a year with the New York Giants baseball team. Faust was with the Giants in 1910-1911. Legend has it he was kept on the team because they won with him in the dugout. Whenever Faust was not present, the Giants lost.
