  • Ep. 9 Player Profile: Cesar Cedeno

    04/07/2020 Duration: 05min

    Dubbed “The Me decade” by Tom Wolfe, the 1970s saw events ranging from the rise of disco to the fall of Saigon, and ultimately the dramatic fall of disco. In baseball, meanwhile, it was all about cool hairstyles and mini-dynasties, with the A’s, Reds and Yankees each winning two—or in the A’s case, three—World Series in a row. It would seem, then, that the talent was condensed around a few teams. But that’s not true. There are other players, and, in fact, other teams to consider as well. No, really! There are. In this episode of The Stick, Jimmy Flame narrates the player profile of Cesar Cedeno.
