Butch McCord: True Baseball

Clinton “Butch” McCord was destined to be one of baseball’s greatest players. The color of one’s skin was a factor in many baseball careers throughout the United States, and Butch ran into many roadblocks along the way, too. But never did he let them get him down.

I have spoken about Butch many times, but never have I made him the subject of an entire podcast episode. Today, I am going to right that wrong, and I am glad to be including it during February, Black History Month.

When he passed away in 2011 , he left me and many friends with words that spoke true. Listen  as I tell about Butch’s special life and give insight into those special words.
