It was cool to hear two players mentioned that have connections local to me:


Cliff Blankenship, the injured catcher send to sign Milan and ultimately got Walter too, was the first Major Leaguer born here in Columbus.

Hank Gowdy, who famously stepped on his mask, has a ball-field on Fort Benning named after him.




Though I read your wonderful book cover-to-cover, I'm sure I'll read it again someday and enjoy it againn.

Here's what I call my 'Double-Walter' which Leon used to own:

Thanks, Robbie, and what an amazing card. Leon probably pulled it directly from the card game box! What's the "double-Walter" all about?

Walter Mails Game Card of Walter Johnson

I also have the Walter Mails Game Card of Walter Mails (another 'double-Walter') but that seems almost redundant. LOL

Wonderful interview, Hank! Having just finished re-reading Sam Rice's bio, re-reading your bio of Walter is my next pleasure.

Listened to a good part of it and will listen to the rest later.
Nice interview for posterity, Hank. Thanks!!

Loved the interview. I am a big fan and living just a few blocks
from the Hall of Fame, I am able to visit the Big Train’s plaque and
memorabilia frequently.
