I'm a Senators fan, but The Big Train was in the inaugural class of the Hall of Fame, and an obvious giant in baseball.
Fun fact - I'm fairly certain Hank also helped edit the interview recordings of Glory of Their Times - what a tie in! |
Thanks for the props, Brian, you made my day! And yes, I had the great good fortune to have co-produced and edited the audio version of "Glory" from Ritter's recordings of his interviews, together with Neal McCabe, who did the best book of baseball photography ever, "Baseball's Golden Age: The Photographs of Charles M. Conlon."
