About this episode
Sean discusses the life and career of Cletus 'Boots' Poffenberger, a colorful figure in baseball history.
Sean throws a screwball with the tale of a wild, weird and wacky hurler, Cletus Poffenberger. Boots - as he wanted to be called - had a short but extremely eventful career making headlines on and off the field. He beat Hall of Famers on the bump but his undisciplined lifestyle and drunken antics cost him in the end.
