Back to EpisodesEp. 82 - Rube Waddell Would Make A Hell of a Movie w/ Prof. Alan H. Levy
Description
This week we discuss Hall of Fame southpaw, Rube Waddell with his biographer, Professor Alan Levy. Levy, a professor of history at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, published, "Rube Waddell: The Zany, Brilliant Life of a Strikeout Artist" in 2000. Waddell was not only one of baseball's most talented pitchers in the first decade of the last century -- he stands out as one of the most colorful and unpredictable personalities as well. Join us for this exciting interview about one of baseball's most interesting personalities.
Errata: In 1901, they were the Chicago Orphans, not the Chicago Cubs, as we discussed in Episode 77.
