A day off with Sam Crawford and Small town baseball in Nebraska

[blametony]

Great stuff!

I presume you’ve read “Glory of their Times”. Even if you have, you should definitely check out the audiobook version. In it, you hear the actual interview Lawrence Ritter did with Sam Crawford in the mid 60’s. Crawford was eloquent, funny, charming and full of some great stories. He talks about life with Ty Cobb, what a great hitter Joe Jackson was and how fast Walter Johnson threw a ball.
Simply incredible to listen to.

Yes I have read the book a couple of times. Thanks for the audio link though, I had not run across that before. Great stuff!

Holy Crap batman! Love the Zeenuts. I have a 1920 but it is pretty rough, never have seen the other two you have here. The 1920 you have looks AMAZING!
