Strange Country Ep. 138: Ted Williams
from Strange Country
It's true baseball and pandemics do not mix well. But that doesn't mean we can't talk about strange baseball stories- like that of the Kid, Mr. Wonderful, Ted Williams. But people are complicated and not just wonderful- there is always a little more to the story. And Ted Williams is like everyone; complicated. And his head is frozen in a Cryogenic Lab in Arizona- so there is that. Listen as Beth and Kelly show the world how to podcast using social distancing, and remind you: no cruises. Be well Readers.
