S BALL PLAYERS PAGOJETS BIG CARDS ON THE DIAMOND
Legendary boxers like John L Sullivan and Jim Jeffries appear in a nostalgic look at baseball crossovers. Sullivan famously earned nearly 4000 for a four inning stint with the St. Louis Browns, a record sum for a single game. Jeffries umpired a St Paul game, earning a notable one dollar per minute share for over an hour, a high fee for umpiring a single turn. The piece ties these feats to broader chatter on fighters dabbling in baseball and notes Terry McGovern’s preference for baseball over boxing.
