139. Dixie Tourangeau: Play Ball! Calendar, The Arky Vaughan for The Hall Committee, & The Only Triple Play / Grand Slam Combo in History
Manage episode 402361593 series 2954657
Dixie Tourangeau was born and raised in Central Massachusetts. Despite living near the dividing line of the battleground between Red Sox and Yankees fans, Dixie's allegiance lies in an unexpected direction.
We'll chat about how Dixie first fell in love with baseball, the method behind his team loyalty, and his extensive involvement with SABR (Society for American Baseball Research). As the creative force behind the Play Ball! Calendar for nearly 25 years, Dixie has not only educated fans on baseball history but also even potentially influenced Veterans Committee elections into the Hall of Fame.
And, even though he’s witnessed three no-hitters live, Dixie recounts an even rarer event that he was present for. Something so unique it has only happened once in the history of the game.
