This is just the plot to The Natural

[@RetroBaseball]

“Insert the “does he know” meme* 😂

[@rolmodel12.]

The writer of "The Natural", definitely was inspired by this. More than one similarity, though still pretty different

[@RetroBaseball]

Yeah the original book was released only a few years after this, so I assume there was at least a little bit of inspiration.

[@rolmodel12.]

@RetroBaseball makes sense. And why not? It is a crazy story, and it definitely is a situation where truth was stranger than fiction. Roy's attacker wasn't obsessed with him, so much as famous ball players (if you remember, her target was The Babe before Roy struck him out in that exhibition). Though he DID have a tryout with Chicago, was shot in the body (but, with a pistol, not a rifle), and took time to come back.
What takes the true story over-the-top, for me, is the shrine. Obsession mixed with the mentally ill (or simply disturbed) is a scary combo. You never know what someone might be thinking or what they do in their private lives. Kinda thing can happen to anybody 🤷🏼‍♂️ luckily there is SO much more opportunity to get help these days.

This is one of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard

[@Rodrgo1997]

love your vids, what happened to that Slidin' Billy Hamilton video?

[@RetroBaseball]

It’s coming eventually, since it’s so long and such a complicated story it’s taking me years to finish it. but I’m gonna keep going. at latest I’m thinking mid 2024. but it might be earlier.

[@Rodrgo1997]

@@RetroBaseball Oh glad to hear it's still on the works! Love your videos and I've always been really curious about that early era of baseball (and other sports in general)

[@RetroBaseball]

She passed away in late 2012. As far as I know, she lived a rather normal life after the incident.

[@Yoyobdyin]
