The talk included stories about the famous players such as Hall-of-Famers Bob Gibson and “Wahoo” Sam Crawford, to the infamous such as Blair’s Tom Seaton, an outstanding pitcher but banned from professional baseball for gambling.
The talk was spiced by humorous stories about some of the area's players. Falls City’s Charlie Abbey was jailed, along with the rest of his Senator’s teammates and the Cleveland team, for violating Cleveland’s Sunday Blue Laws in 1897.
