Pod Hacks

In this episode I dive into the life and career of Leroy "Satchel" Paige

His story is truly incredible, and in many ways, too good to be true.

I also take a detour to discuss the history of Black Ball Players and the Negro Leagues, that are celebrating their 100 year anniversary.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

The life and short lived career of Mark Fidrych.

A great example of a fire that burned out too fast.

A pitcher that captured the imagination of Baseball fans in the Detroit area during the 1970's.
