Louis Sockalexis' story has everything. He even died dramatically clutching newspaper accounts of his glory days. The twists and turns of his life and ultimate tragedy would be turned down by a Hollywood studio as too much fantasy if it wasn't all true. His homer off Amos Rusie who was jeering his minority status while real life indians gave war chants from the crowd is one of the greatest moments in baseball history. This and his descending from the chief of his tribe are not even in the top ten of the coolest things in his life. I have been a student of the game for three decades and his story is so fantastic that it is still hard for me to believe he was a real person sometimes!
