Episode 4: Bill Staples, Jr. - 25th Infantry Wreckers, Kenichi Zenimura, and Negro Leaguers in Japan

Listen Later

Today’s guest is Bill Staples, Jr. Bill is a baseball historian and author in Arizona. I met Bill through my 25th Infantry research. His post on the series between the 25th Infantry and Casey Stengel’s traveling all-star team was a huge help when writing my Heavy Johnson and Dobie Moore bios.

I highly recommend that you watch the YouTube video instead. Bill provided some excellent slides that I think you’ll really enjoy.
