Strawberry Bill Bernhard Brings a Championship to Nashville

When the Nashville Baseball Club needed a manager to bring the team out of the Southern Association cellar, Bill Bernhard was just the man to do it. With nine seasons of major league experience, and nearly Cleveland's big league manager, Bernhard immediately made an impact.

The man known for his genteel demeanor, he learned his craft from Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack and Cleveland managers Bill Armour and Nap Lajoie and led the Vols to the 1908 pennant.

In this episode I tell about his career beginning in upstate New York to his death in San Diego. Won't you listen in?
