Jim Creighton would go on to be recruited to play right field for C. Montgomery Burns' Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Softball Team in 1992. Unfortunately for Mr. Burns Creighton had been dead for 130 years & was unable to join the team.
So the national baseball hall of Fame, a thing that in the last 3 decades, much like the game we love, has survived off of the long ball, denied the possibility of almost guaranteed poor power swing technique and a hard swing potentially killing someone cause "no evidence" of a already game 150 years old, after knowing sudden movement in ways a body isn't supposed to isn't necessarily good, and before baseball's popularity boomed? Along with the fact it was from an amateur league that doesn't get all of America to follow with undivided attention? Yeah, I'll believe the "myth" considering he indisputably died from what's in the story, days after the game. Also the dispute of his death started way back when with fee excelsior's who thought blaming the game for his death wouldn't be a good look. There's an NYT article saying he "struck at a ball with great fierceness" too, but it didn't say the pitchers joke did become reality and to strike at something doesn't indicate a miss, if anything it implies contact. In this case, incredibly solid one. Given all this, I'll believe Jack Chapman

Great video for so few subscribers. Please keep making more!!
Thank you! I’m working on one as we speak. It will be about the great Satchel Paige.

Better late than never, Thank you as always Christopher.
Well done, keep good content like this coming out and the subs will come. Your editing has evolved significantly in the last few videos!
thank you.
“Death by ground out to third” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
“Death by practice swing in the dugout” is probably even worse.

この人が内臓破裂で死亡したと数年前ネットサーフィンをしていて見た記憶があるが今日まで何かの見間違いか夢だと思っていた。

He’s built like the stonks guy
