That Didn’t Happen… Did it? (s1e10) – 800 Home Runs: The King Who Was Banned from Baseball

The numbers are staggering: over 800 career home runs, 89 in a single season, and the longest home run ever hit in Yankee Stadium. These aren't the stats of a mythical player; they belong to Josh Gibson, a Hall of Famer who was denied his chance to prove it in the MLB. Hear the story of his incredible talent, the tragic injustice that kept him out of the majors, and the belated recognition that cemented his place as one of the most dominant athletes in American history. His story didn't happen in the MLB, but it absolutely happened. #JoshGibson #NegroLeaguesBaseball #BaseballHallOfFame #BlackHistory #SportsLegends #HomeRun #Injustice
