Word has come that beloved Old Timers board member Larry Cole passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2025. Though I may have given tribute to him in an earlier podcast, he is worthy of what I can say about him now.

I hope you will enjoy hearing about his baseball career and how he touched others,. Rest in Peace, coach Cole.

John (Johnny) Andrew Beazley, born on May 25, 1918, was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Braves.

As a rookie in 1942, Beazley went 21–6 with a 2.13 ERA for the Cardinals. His 21 wins and 2.13 ERA ranked him second in the National League.

He completed his remarkable feat by pitching two complete-game wins in the team's World Series victory over the New York Yankees in five games, allowing three runs in Game Two and two in Game Five for a combined 2.50 ERA.

In this episode, his son, Terry, tells about his father’s life in baseball and beyond. His dad is one of Nashville’s favorite baseball sons!

I want to introduce you to someone who is an historian, educator, vintage base ball player (yes, base ball is two words in vintage baseball), web developer, and contributor to the history of the 19th Century game.

His name is Chris Ryland, also known as “Books” to his Nashville Maroons teammates in Tennessee Vintage Baseball. His love of history and the vintage game have led him to interesting historical discoveries, too. Listen in!
