Rube Waddell, sporting legend

Thanks to Chris Hewitt and Halen O’Hara from Empire for sharing this on Twitter. 

Baseball hall-of-famer Rube Waddell lived life with a very “try to explain everything that happened to the hero in a year of comics” energy.



In Adventure! I might stat him as a Daredevil, or maybe a Stalwart based on his off-season gig wrestling alligators and the time he prevented a fallen portable stove starting a fire by picking it up and carrying it out. 

Characters for pulpy heroic games could have a few such “wait, what?” moments in their biographies.
