Episode 116: Ron LeFlore — From Prison Yard to All-Star, A Conversation with Adam Henig

Ron LeFlore's life is one of the most improbable arcs in American sports. Before he became an MLB All‑Star and one of the most electric base stealers of the 1970s, he was serving time in a Michigan prison—where he played his first organized baseball game. In this episode, author Adam Henig joins host K.P. Wee to discuss his new biography, Baseball's Outcast The Story of Ron LeFlore, the first full modern account of LeFlore's rise, fall, and complicated legacy. Henig talks about LeFlore's childhood, Detroit, the prison system, Billy Martin's unlikely discovery, and the parts of LeFlore's story that have been forgotten or misunderstood.
