Episode 403 - Pete Gray and His Amazing Friends

from This Week In Baseball History · host Mike Bates and Bill Parker

It is exceptionally hard to play baseball in the Major Leagues. Now imagine if you had to do it with one hand or arm. Or with one leg. Or while battling a dibilitating disorder. Mike and Bill were thinking about that alot this week when they realized it was the 81st anniversary of Pete Gray's debut for the Browns. So they look back at the short career of the outfielder with one arm, and the careers of three other players who overcame incredible challenges to play in the big leagues. Plus, happy birthday to Jeromy Burnitz and Woodie Fryman! And farewell to Tony Balsamo and Gary Wagner.
