Tris Speaker interview from 1948
Here's a six-minute radio interview that sportscaster Bob Wolff did with Tris Speaker in 1948. There's some really interesting stuff in there: Speaker talks about how he learned to play center field as a rookie by having Cy Young hit him fungoes, and lists Dale Mitchell and Larry Doby as the most promising players on the Cleveland Indians, for whom he was working at the time. I love hearing audio of old deadball-era stars like this. I don't think I had ever heard Speaker's voice before listening to this.
