Two members of the Baseball Hall of Fame received the Purple Heart, both are Army vets.

Know who they are?

Pitcher Warren Spahn, who also survived the collapse of the Remagen Bridge.

Umpire Nestor Chylak.

I should have made the question clearer, I was referring to two players. I didn't know about the umpire so I learned something.

Anyway, there is a second player with the Purple Heart. Warren Spahn is correct.
