Wes Singletary | The Story of John Henry "Pop" Lloyd
Manage episode 361809983 series 2926800
Babe Ruth considered him the greatest player who had ever lived. Derek Jeter called him 'me, but with more power'.
Bob Kendrick and Dr. Wes Singletary tell the story of John Henry "Pop" Lloyd, a Hall of Fame shortstop and the favorite son of Palatka, Florida. Hear about Pop's humble beginnings and meteoric rise through the Negro Leagues, his playing career that extended into his mid-40's, and his legacy that lasts far beyond. And most importantly, learn about the gentlemanly reputation, both in the game and elsewhere, that truly earned the man the nickname "Pop".
