Episode 350 - The American League Tries to Ban Johnson
Manage episode 449179623 series 1458124
Prior to Babe Ruth and Judge Landis, perhaps no person was as synonymous with baseball as Ban Johnson, the visionary who founded the American League, outfought the National League, and ran the National Baseball Commission until the Black Sox scandal. But his tenure was not always a smooth one, and he was not well liked. So much so that 104 years ago this week, the Yankees, Red Sox, and White Sox all tried to abandon the AL and form a super Senior Circuit with the NL teams. While that plan was thwarted, it signalled the beginning of the end for Johnson's reign, which Mike and Bill look back at this week.
Plus, happy birthday to Tommy Leach and Jim McCormick!
And farewell to Bob Blaylock and Wayne Graham.
