Mike, that was a great trip to the Louisville Slugger factory/museum. It’s crazy how much of Baseball History you can learn there. I’d encourage every Baseball fan to make that a priority trip.
Thanks John! No, he is not in the HoF. Think it has more to do with the era in which he played. The Hall didn't open for about 40 years after he retired. It's a shame.
Such a fun read🤗. So interesting 🧐. Keep ‘em comin🙏🙏
Thanks Mary Kay! Will do...

Thanks David! Yes, it was amazing the history we learned. It definitely should be a stop on all fans agenda.
Great story Coach Mike. A great hitter I don't think he's in the Hall of Fame.
