Rube Waddell w/Randall Lotowycz

Rube Waddell was a pitcher in the early days of baseball with one of the most colorful stories in all of sports. In 1903 alone, he threw 302 strikeouts, won 22 games, started the season sleeping in a firehouse, ended it working as a bartender, and in between starred in a play in which he refused to memorize his lines; met, married, and divorced one of his several wives; accidentally shot a friend through the hand; and was bitten by a lion. Author Randall Lotowycz (The DC Book of Lists, Superhero Playbook, Michael Recycle) joins us to talk about why a character study of one of the game's most colorful oddballs could be the anti-Forrest Gump.
