Description
Former Houston Astro Jason Lane is one of 21 pitchers in MLB history that have pitched or pitched at least 10 innings in the big leagues with a career ERA below 1.00. The list includes both Negro League players and players that played in the National Association (1871-75).
We are looking at the background and history for all 21 players in this episode -- stories that include unfortunate injuries, bad luck, military service, returns home and other fates.
Oh, believe it or not, one of the 21 players is a Baseball Hall of Fame inductee!
In Part 2, Rex leads a review and discussion about the new motion picture, "Dune, Part Two."
Errata: The correct name of the Negro League baseball database is Seamheads.com.
