32 | When Life Gives You Chet Lemon | Part I

Sports Explains the World - A podcast by Wondery | Meadowlark

Categories:

In the sixth grade, Davy Rothbart fell in love — with a girl named Allison...and Detroit Tigers outfielder Chet Lemon. It didn't hurt that Allison loved Chet Lemon at least as much as Davy did. But months into their innocent courtship, tragedy struck when Allison’s mother was shot and killed in a random robbery. More than 30 years later, unable to forget the heartbreak Allison endured, Davy goes back in time for answers to questions he couldn’t have known to ask as an 11-year-old.
