During the mid-1950s, an unlikely star stood alongside baseball
standouts Mickey Mantle, Henry Aaron and Willie Mays--a slugger
with a funny name and muscles so bulging that he had to cut the
sleeves off his uniform to swing freely. Ted Kluszewski played
little baseball in his youth, making a name for himself instead as
a hard-hitting football player at Indiana University before showing
potential on the diamond and being signed by the Cincinnati Reds.
Between 1953 and 1956, no other player in major league baseball hit
more home runs than Kluszewski. If not for a back injury, he may
have gone down in major league history as one its greatest players.
With detailed statistics from both his football and baseball
careers, this biography chronicles the unusual odyssey that took
Kluszewski to the big leagues and ultimately made him an icon
during the 1950s.
