Episode 26 - Ike Futch
from The Baseball Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree Hosted by Bob Hurte

Ike would enjoy a nine year minor league career, the majority spent in the New York Yankee organization, striking out only 59 times in 4057 at bats. Ike would team up with Ronnie Retton for several of those years... Ronnie had a daughter Mary Lou who would go on to make a name for herself!
