Baseball's Deadliest Pitch and How it Changed the Sport Forever

Baseball's Deadliest Pitch and How it Changed the Sport Forever

Tragedy struck on August 16, 1920, when during a visiting game at the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Yankees, Cleveland shortstop and all-around affable guy Ray Chapman was beaned in the head by a "spitball" thrown by submarine pitcher Carl Mays. Just 12 hours later, Chapman would be declared dead. In this episode, we cover a dark blemish on the history of baseball, the controversial "dead ball" era, and look at how the sport has changed to avoid possible fatalities on the field.
