  • 94 - The Angriest Man in Baseball

    Albert Belle could hit a baseball. He could also hit a range of other objects when he got frustrated, from sinks to buffet tables.

    Joining the hapless Cleveland Indians, he was a big part of turning them around, but he also lost it at fans, teammates, and trick-or-treaters.

    Belle’s personality of being a jerk, even affected his chances of entering the Hall of Fame, because most journalists who vote for it, just didn’t like him.

  • 92 - The Great Babe Didrikson- Part 1

    Babe Didrikson might very well be the greatest athlete of the 20th century. As a teenager she led her team to the National Basketball Championship, before moving on to the Olympics and became a two-time gold medallist.

    Baseball was next, playing against the men in the Major Leagues, and that was just the half of it.

    To make money, she turned to the stage, becoming a star, before deciding to conquer one more sport, golf.

  • 91 - The Wild Johnstown Jets

    In 1977, the movie Slap Shot starring Paul Newman was released about the crazy exploits of a fictional minor league ice hockey team.

    The plot was so unbelievable the movie flopped but later became a sports classic, partly because all the crazy stories in it were based on a real team, the Johnstown Jets.

    All the characters in the movie were based on real people, like the three Hanson Brothers, (not the musicians) and their arch-nemesis Bill “Goldie” Goldthorpe.

    They fought each other, the referees and the fans.

    This is the story of the Johnstown Jets, one of the strangest teams of all time.

  • 90 - Michael Jackson visits Exeter City

    In 2002, none other than Michael Jackson came to Exeter City's stadium to deliver a speech to the 7,000 fans in attendance. 

    What followed was a rambling speech about curing AIDS, stopping poverty, and for good measure, ending racism.

    What made this even stranger was that Exeter City were at the bottom of Division Three at the time. Within weeks of his visit, Jackson would be appointed to their board.
