Earl Averill Videos

Earl Averill videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Earl Averill videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.
"From his very first at bat, when he hit a home run, Earl Averill was toasted and griddle caked and coffeed as one of the most popular players in Cleveland history. A left-handed, dead-pull hitter, Averill took dead aim on the cozy right field stands in old League Park, situated just 290 feet down the line from home plate, dropping in home run after home run." - Author Bert Randolph Sugar in The Great Baseball Players from McGraw to Mantle: With 248 Historic Photographs from the Archives of Photo File, Inc. (Dover Publications, 01/28/1997, Page 75)
