Just in case you haven’t heard enough about the election, we compare some presidential home run records and remember some other number 46’s. We’ve talked about the Abner Doubleday myth before, but this week we dive even a little deeper, debunking the Henry Chadwick narrative and introduce Doc Adams who may have been even more influential in the history of baseball. We also look at the games of rounders, townball and even old cat as precursors to today’s game. Plus, Wax Pack Heroes takes on 1990 Fleer.
