McHistory: Bloomington’s Unsung Baseball Great

September 23rd, 2019

Listen to the audio on WGLT's website here

McHistory goes back in time to explore big moments and small stories from McLean County history. McHistory episodes can be heard periodically on WGLT's Sound Ideas.

Baseball fans remember the greats of the sport: the Babe Ruths, the Lou Gehrigs. And the players that didn't quite make the Hall of Fame often slip through the cracks of our memory.

This episode of McHistory tells the story of Bloomington-native and would-have-been Hall of Fame pitcher Jack Powell.

WGLT's Mary Cullen produced this episode of McHistory featuring Bill Kemp and Adam Lovell of the McLean County Museum of History.
