T207 Mike Donlin Back Information
Posted By: Jeff Lichtman
I suppose in our present day, the riches and fame associated with being a baseball star know no peer; back then the pay and perks weren't as good and many players just didn't place the same premium on their playing careers as perhaps they should. Turkey Mike would have been a Hall of Famer had he made baseball his one and only career (and didn't get into all sorts of trouble due to his drinking). As to your point of perceptions changing over time, keep in mind that Babe Ruth, late in his life, said that Hal Chase was the best first baseman he had ever seen. Ask any baseball fan today who Hal Chase is....
