Episode 155 – Ted Radcliffe Performs His Final Duty

It is unfathomable to Mike and Bill, especially on the 21st anniversary of his final appearance as a professional ballplayer at the age of 97, that Negro League great Double Duty Radcliffe has not yet been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Radcliffe’s professional career on the diamond spanned 35 incredible years, playing for some of the greatest teams in history, and did as much to popularize Negro League baseball as anyone shy of Buck O’Neal and Satchel Paige. The boys go through his incredible career and marvel at one of the greatest characters in baseball history. Plus, happy birthday to Dave Concepcion and Billy Werber!
