Evangelist Sunday Rated Fastest Ball Field Sprinter
A historic recollection credits Billy Sunday, famed evangelist, as the fastest runner ever in baseball spikes. It recalls his Chicago career in the 1880s with Pop Anson’s team, plus teammates like Mike Kelly and Fred Pfeuer, and his transformation from athlete to Presbyterian minister and YMCA worker. The anecdote places Sunday above contemporaries in speed, citing a famous race against Arlie Latham and Uncle Anson’s grooming.
