A tragedy about the life and death of Rube Waddell. Try to avoid all the fallacies told about him (that he chased fire trucks) and more about his real life. The booze, the crazy, his childhood and being forced out of the league regardless of his performance because of his inability to keep it together.

The Black Prince of Baseball
Hal Chase - plenty of drama with one of the era's top players, being banned for life.

He didn't die. He is just a little worse for wear.

As SABR put it, "The only ballplayer named for a sitting United States president and portrayed on film by a future one (Ronald Reagan in The Winning Team)."
