- “Playing for Their Lives: The Death Row Baseball Team”
A free CZcams exclusive baseball documentary written, produced, edited and narrated by Retro Baseball.
Over the past few months an image of an early 1900s baseball team believed to have been made up of death row inmates from The Wyoming State Penitentiary has been circulating amongst the Internet.
I quickly decided to look deeper into the origins of this image, and what I found was a baseball story unlike any other.
A tale of corruption, heinous crimes and wyoming politics with some interesting baseball history along the way.
Today I present to you the story of The Wyoming State Penitentiary All-Stars, a team of death row inmates playing for a chance to live another day.
I hope you enjoy.

Imagine being the family of a victim that was murdered, but then the murderers death gets delayed because the Prison Padres beat the Jailhouse Jays 5-2.

Common Retro W Video
criminally underrated
Thank you!
It’s finally here
Such excitement
yes
Nice vid
Thank you!
new retro baseball is real
Please do an episode on the 54 seasons of the Milwaukee Brewers with their one American league Pennant, which has recently eclipsed the futility of the 52 seasons the St'Louis Browns had with their one American League Pennant after they moved from Milwaukee and changed their name from the Brewers to the Browns.
I will definitely add this to the ideas list. Thank you.
Slow down your delivery slightly and in your mixing drop your background music by a good bit. Drop the cutaway your not jon Bois.
Now besides that this is some really good work and you definitely could pop off very soon with a bit of luck
Thanks!
Anyone who likes this channel should check out the, now dead, channel "Watch Sunday Baseball" from like 10 years ago.
It's a god-send for those who love early baseball cheese.
I remember that channel, it’s a shame that it’s no longer active.
New retro video I repeat this is not a false alarm new retro video
I have once again crawled out of the basement with a new episode.
Ashtray skull and epidermic shoes? If that ain't some METAL shit, especially the former!
Absolutely riveting story
I wonder how good a prison team would be now, against a minor league team
Thank you!
We may have to reinstate the death penalty ngl
Yeah Imagine all of the Yankees players were on death row… IKF would break the homerun record.

Clutch or kick
When I saw the photo I was thinking “who the hell let’s their child near a rapist knowing full well they are a rapist”
The early 1900s were certainly a weird time.
BH?
Soon. The video should be at least 90 minutes long.
The reason some people were for Seng having his sentence changed was that he claimed self defense. He, clearly, killed the man, but if he drew first or not was in dispute.
Why does it say there’s only one comment but if you click on the comments it shows a bunch?
I don’t know to be honest. it’s probably a CZcams glitch of some sort.
