The Great One and The Lucky One: Baseball’s Hall of Fame adds two players

The World

Yesterday, the Baseball Writers Association of America inducted two players into Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Our friend and one-man-tailgate-party, Jeff Beresford Howe, is here to tell us about Rickey Henderson, who might be called The Great One, and Jim Rice, who maybe, you’d call The Lucky One.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
