Reading Baseball: Greatest Oddballs

Major League Baseball has been around since 1869. Since then, there have been some really weird moments -- both on and off the field.  In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson takes a look at some of the game's greatest oddballs ever to put on a uniform.

Reading Baseball is a series of original essays and commentaries by Richard "Pete" Peterson, editor of the St. Louis Baseball Reader and the author of Growing Up With Clemente.

Richard "Pete" Peterson is the creative force behind WSIU Radio's Reading Baseball Series. Pete's original essays and commentaries are a regular staple for any fan of the game.
