Boy....I've read a lot of baseball history, and that sounds vaguely familiar....vaguely. Man, that's awful. I know a lot of baseball history but never heard of Willard until the Dead Ball podcast. Real tragic story that led up to his suicide. It still is full of guys who have enormous problems, but before WWII....man....there was some misery in the league. Drunks, brawlers, suicidal men..... Archie Bunker: "Of course, the biggest change of all was 1947. You know, with Jackie Robinson. It changed the whole complexion of the game--in more ways than one." |
