A certain major league baseball team owner recorded one of the largest selling records of all time. Who is it and what is the song title?

Long before he was a baseball mogul, Gene Autry was America's beloved "Singing Cowboy." In 1949, he recorded "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," a song he initially disliked and considered a novelty. At the urging of his wife, he released the track, which became an unprecedented success. It sold millions of copies and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time, cementing its place as an enduring holiday classic that is still heard every winter.

Autry's incredible success in music and film allowed him to pursue his other great passion: baseball. In 1961, he became the founding owner of the American League expansion team, the Los Angeles Angels, later known as the California Angels during most of his tenure. He was a famously devoted owner for 37 years, often attending games and traveling with the team.

His legacy is honored in both worlds. While his holiday hit plays on, his impact on the Angels franchise was so profound that the team retired the number 26 in his honor, representing the "26th man" on the roster. He is the only person to have five separate stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a testament to his unique and monumental career.
