Lyman Bostock was a Major League Baseball player on the rise. During the first 3 ½ years of his career with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels, Lyman hit .311 with a high of .336 in 1977. He had just signed a free agent contract with the Angels, a team that was on the rise and hoping to win a championship with Bostock at the center of things. But it wasn’t to be. In a horrible case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Bostock was tragically gunned down after a night out with family and friends in his hometown of Gary, Indiana while the Angels were in Chicago for a series against the White Sox. As one could imagine, the baseball world was left in shock. The real tragedy, however, just might have been the fact that Bostock was not only lost to baseball, his family and the Angels, but the charities he supported would no longer benefit from his life. Author K. Adam Powell who penned the book, ““Lyman Bostock, The Inspiring Life and Tragic Death of A Ballplayer,” joins the podcast for a terrific look back at the life and career of Lyman Bostock.
