It is rare for a Hall of Fame player to be traded in the middle of his peak away from a contending team, but that's just what happened to Tris Speaker 110 years ago this week, when the Red Sox dealt him to Cleveland. Mike and Bill take the opportunity to look back at one of the inner circle Hall of Famers they haven't covered yet, and find a great player and leader whose personal beliefs and associations have almost come to overshadow his accomplishments on the field. 

Plus, happy birthday to Ron Hansen and Happy Felsch!

And farewell to Wayne Granger and Roy Face.
