Last week I talked about how Abner Doubleday is sometimes still known as the guy who invented baseball when in reality, he had nothing to do with the sport. With that in mind, I wanted to take time to discuss things that Doubleday actually did, like advocate ardently with his wife Mary for abolition, freed a Mexican slave during the Mexican American War by paying off the debt of a many called Sancho, and participating in the first instance of urban combat in US military history. I was largely unfamiliar with Doubleday before looking into his life for this podcast, the more I grow the like the man and hope that he will be remembered for things that he did as opposed to things others falsely pinned on him.
