#370 - Diamond Dick & The Whackstick - "Turkey" Mike Donlin

This week, we go back in time to look into a man who was born in 1878! He played for the St Louis Cardinals, before they were called that. Famous for his strut, cockiness, and crazy things he did while drinking. Things like punching showgirls, and pulling guns on train conductors. He transitioned from baseball, into a film career that had him in some pretty wild circumstances. A wild guy, living an old timey wild life!!


Hate your nickname, have your team refuse to play in the 2nd World Series ever, and punch anybody who doesn't like you, punching their girlfriend with "Turkey" Mike Donlin!!


Check us out, every Tuesday!


We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
