The Prisoners That Bet Their Life on Baseball

Why do we play sports? Some play for leisure, some play for the thrill of competition, and some play for the glory of writing their name down in history. But just over a century ago, inmates of The Wyoming State Penitentiary played baseball to stay alive.
For these inmates, baseball wasn’t just a game - it was the choice between running the bases and walking down the green mile. Today on Nutty History, we’re bringing you the story of the death row inmates who played baseball to postpone their executions. Batter up!

Very interesting video . On a much lighter note , Ron LeFlore played MLB baseball after serving time in prison and had a successful career. I think they did a movie based on his life.
