Bob Feller: Rogers Was Cheatin’

In the recent episode of The Detroit Tigers Podcast I asked Lynn Henning if we’ve heard the last of the Kenny Rogers’ dirty hand story. We both thought it would go away before long.

We’re not there yet. Here’s a clip from a New York Times article on Cleveland Indians Hall of Famer Bob Feller”:

A fan asked Feller what Kenny Rogers was doing in the last World Series when umpires noticed a brown smudge on his palm. Feller replied that Rogers was applying more spin to the ball.

“He was trying to cheat,” Feller said. “It’s not the first time anyone’s ever done it. They’ve been doing it from Day 1.”

So there you go.
