My favourite ball player was Nellie Fox. What does that tell you? Lost all respect for baseball during the ‘58 players strike. It’s never been the same since. Bring back slippery elm and chewing tobacco.
Fox was a real hustling player! He didn’t get his full due imho. (I don’t remember a players strike in ‘58 though.)
I never heard of a strike in 58 thought, I thought that started after the Curt Flood thing.
Baseball’s first strike was in 1972.
