The HOVG Podcast: Bob Kendrick

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by the always delightful Bob Kendrick.

The most recent member of the Three-Timers Club talks to the boys about the life and legacy of the late, great Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, educates Shawn as to who Rube Foster is and why he is one of the most important people in the history of the Negro Leagues and celebrates the inevitable Hall of Fame induction of longtime Atlanta Brave Chipper Jones.
