About this episode
Eds shares the story of Charlie Faust, a man whose life changed at a county fair, impacting the Giants' history.
In a re-run from June 2023 Eds returns to the bump with a story of a man whose biographer described him as "the least athletic person apart from Eddie Gaedel to play in the major leagues." Charlie grew up seemingly destined to work the land under the watchful eyes of his younger brothers back home in Kansas, but a trip to the county fair would change not only Charlie's life, but spur the Giants to one of their greatest stretches in team history.
