Deacon White Radio Feature

[Den*nis O*Brien]

Today NPR played a nice feature about Deacon White, The Civil War and the HOF. It is part of their Sunday morning sports programming. It will replay another time or two this AM and then go to "Archives". I will post a link, later in the day, when my tech guy gets home. With 9 OJ cards this seemed like the correct place to post....if not please move.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dennis, and for posting the link, Joe. It was a good interview. I love hearing (or reading) from people who knew personally baseball players from the 19th century.

I was very friendly with Ed Weyhing, the nephew of Gus and John Weyhing. Ed would visit Gus regularly when they were both living in Louisville. He had some great stories about those visits. Unfortunately, Ed died recently. I'll miss talking baseball with him.
