Clearly, Pesky and Barrett were masters of the hidden ball trick. And Lyons' turning of the trick on Ozzie Guillen was the 3rd time Ozzie was caught out by the trick. This was based on Retrosheet's comprehensive listing of all the hidden ball tricks ever turned in the majors, which was compiled by Bill Deane with the assistance of the others listed on the page.
