Summary

"Wee" Dickie Kerr may have lacked stature, but he was all skill. From refusing to rig the 1919 World Series as a member of the Chicago White Sox, to his later years in South Bend's industrial league, Dickie dominated the competition from the pitcher's mound.


Nathan Krebs and Aaron Helman dive into the stories that made Kerr a folk hero and an inspiration to future big-leaguers.
