Reverend Bill Greason: Marine, Pastor, and Ballplayer

Skip’s Corner: Nashville Baseball Podcast

I met Bill Greason in October of 2017, when the Friends of Rickwood hosted the inaugural Southern Negro League conference in BIrmingham. He spoke to us in the Rickwood conference room and told his story, then took questions from everyone until it was time for him to return to his home in Birmingham.

Before he got up to leave, I asked him if I could have our picture taken together, and he obliged. It’s a photo I won’t forget.
He was a man among all men, and in this episode I tell about meeting Rev. Bill Greason.
Frederick C. Bush's excellent SABR biography on Bill Greason was used in prepartion of this podcast, accessed here: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/bill-greason/.
