The Missing Chapter is taking you out to the ballgame! Now, this isn’t the first time that we’ve delved into the baseball diamond or the vast list of characters who help make up it’s colorful, storied past, but today’s episode is different and sure to surprise even the most avid of baseball fans:

 

August 24th, 1919 and the crowd roars as Cleveland pitcher, Ray Caldwell and his teammates, take the field at League Park. Caldwell is on the mound, and the cheers only get louder because Cleveland fans know what’s at stake for the right-hander: He has just been waived by the Red Sox, and the pulse of his once-promising career had all but flatlined prior to that day. This is his last gasp and early on… it’s apparent he’s got his best stuff working.

 

But as the clouds began to roll in off of Lake Erie and the skies darkened and the winds stiffened, no one, especially Caldwell, could have predicted what happened next… more accurately, what struck next, and how it would affect his career and his life.

 

An especially “shocking” story and what you’ve come to know and love from the Missing Chapter Podcast. “Play Ball!”
