This Week’s Episode:
This week it’s all about Ed Delahanty, the Hall of Famer remembered more for how he died rather than how he played the game.
Ed was a tragic story - one filled with bad breaks, bad decisions, and even worse endings. Even though he’s become somewhat of a punch line in the annals of baseball history, we have the chance to re-insert him into the conversation of the greats of his era as the firs thing he’s mentioned for. He deserves better!
