"BUCKEYE CUBBIE: Woody English" features a 1995 interview with the
89 year old Newark Ohioan. He tells tales of his childhood, Newark
High School, joining the Toledo Mud Hens and then the Chicago Cubs
because his Mud Hen teammates Hack Wilson and Earl Webb had already
signed on. He relates the fabled "Called Shot" by the Babe from
his viewpoint on third base in the 1932 World Series.
The magnetic personality that made him the Cubbie captain shines through in this
engrossing interaction. Also included are never-seen-before home
movies by Woody: Catalina Island (where the Cubs had spring
training), the infamous Hack Wilson (Woody's pal), and the dapper
Mr. Elwood English posing on a Chitown rooftop in 1929.
