Eddie Crankshaft Can’t Read

Sep 24, 2024

The current Crankshaft week references and flashes back to a story that happened when young Eddie Crankshaft played for the Toledo Mud Hens, and deals with his inability to read and what it cost him. For those interested in knowing more about that story, I’m replaying it here in the blog over the next three days.

That story and all of the other Crankshaft baseball stories can be found in the award winning collection Strike Four which can be found in the Books section on this site. Enjoy.
