Ep 308 - The death of Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman
The rule that bans spitballs and requires major league umpires to throw out dirty balls was paid for in blood. In 1920, Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman was beaned in the head by a dirty ball. To this day, he remains the only major league player to ever die as a direct result of gameplay.
