Listen "Episode 358 - Earle Combs Slides Into Cooperstown"
Episode Synopsis
More maligned than most inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Earle Combs has developed an unfair reputation over the last decade or so as one of the worst choices of the old Veteran's Committee, 55 years ago this week. Mike and Bill look back at the Kentucky schoolmaster to see whether that reputation is warranted and find a much better player than they expected. Plus, happy birthday to Charley Gelbert and Bibb Falk! And farewell to Bob Kelly, Gail Henley, Al Fitzmorris, and Rico Carty.
