À propos de cet audio
Step back in time to the wild, rule-bending days of 1880s baseball.
In this episode of Rounding Third from BadderSports, Peter Lemieux uncovers the fascinating and nearly unbelievable life of Michael “King” Kelly — the first true celebrity in baseball history.
From playing barehanded to inventing the hook slide, cutting bases when the ump wasn’t looking, and subbing himself mid-play, King Kelly did it all before baseball had gloves, fences, or even clear rules. He led the league in hits, stolen bases, and personality — and became the $10,000 man without ever seeing a dime of it.
If you’re a fan of baseball history, sports legends, or just a great underdog story, this one’s for you.
