The book elaborates on his hatred of minorities and what led him to that ideology and the situation with Walker and how that shaped baseball. That book is also an audiobook with a great narrator, I highly recommend it. Also 59 in 84 by same author and narrator about Old Hoss Radbourn is also excellent.

I don’t collect too much post 1980 but if I saw a neat Mel Hall Cubs pinback or team issued photo I wouldn’t have any trepidations about buying it.

Mel Hall's story is crazy. The Yankees published a photo of him attending a prom!

This isn't pre-war, but I'll never collect Johnny Cueto, who has made over $167 million (Baseball-Reference).
He unnecessarily kicked a player in the face during a brawl, ending that guy's career and leading him to experience lifelong health problems. Here' the story with the video: https://www.12up.com/posts/johnny-cu...0-01e5aq0jmn1j (a bit more detailed: http://www.i70baseball.com/2011/05/1...n-la-rue-down/) And here's the follow up story: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/l...kicks-to-head/ Last edited by michael3322; 12-03-2022 at 07:24 PM. |
