The Sizzler, Baseball's Forgotten Great, The Outstanding Ohioans show, Episode 28-Interview with baseball biographer Rick Huhn

As today is Opening Day, it is fitting that this podcast interview is about baseball. I had the pleasure of interviewing Rick Huhn, Baseball Biographer, regarding his book The Sizzler: George Sisler, Baseball's Forgotten Great, about native Ohioan and Baseball Hall of Famer George Sisler.

In a legendary career as an amateur player, professional player, and professional baseball management, George Sisler set many records and was regarded by his peers as one of the all-time greats. After his playing career ended, Sisler faded from the limelight and many fans' memories. Rick Huhn took a look at why this happened at the behest of Sisler's son George Sisler Jr. Rick has compiled an outstanding biography with great detail that any baseball fan will love.
