In 1958, Lou Boudreau predicted there would be four major leagues

Lou Boudreau at Wrigley Field for the 1947 All-Star GameI was researching something recently — and honestly I can’t remember what it was — when I came across an article “By Lou Boudreau, as told to Jack Rosenberg” from the Chicago Tribune of April 13, 1958.

At the time, Boudreau was not quite 41 years old and had been dismissed as manager of the Kansas City A’s the previous summer. He’d been hired by WGN radio to do color commentary on Cubs games with Jack Quinlan doing play-by-play.

As a Chicago-area native, great MLB player and World Series-winning manager, Boudreau’s thoughts about baseball were obviously something the Tribune thought readers would enjoy seeing.
