Grave of TRIS SPEAKER Baseball Legend & Museum HUBBARD TX

[@go-goakins1489]

I’ve glad you featured this legendary player ! ⚾️

[@go-goakins1489]

Never heard of him till your utube !🤙⚾️👊

[@ericraley4850]

My Dad is buried four grave sites down from him. I grew up in Hubbard and many people don’t know about Tris.

[@michaelcanney7218]

Speaker was one of top 5 greatest pure hitters in baseball that very few people talk about.

[@t.b.1596]

Hey everyone...just a fun note. My Dad was a baseball fanatic so when I was born in 1954, He and my Mom named me Tris, after Tris Speaker. Since I was born a girl they added "tine" to the last part of my name so my full name is Tristine but grew up as "Tris". In my Dad's wisdom and love for baseball he also collected baseball cards as a kid. Guess who has the original mint condition baseball card of Tris Speaker...Me!! I watch you Jordon all the time and just love your vlogs but this one is a home run! (smile)

Even though I’m not a sporty person, I just adore vlogs about the players. This was so interesting and well done! I hope that everyone gives vlogs like this a chance too!

[@equestrian9696]

I am a big baseball fan. My brother-in-law played in the AAA-league. There was a lot of raw talent in baseball history. It is so hard to get into the “top level” any sport. Love you vlogs!!

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Wow!! You just amaze me!!! You come up with so many different ideas for vlogs. I never heard of Tris Speaker. Thanks to you I learned something new. You have held my interest for over 3 years!!! Never a boring vlog. Thank you so much. Safe travels and much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

[@lorih2924]

Thank you, Jordan for showing and telling us about Tris Speaker. Really enjoyed learning about him. Glad you remembered what your grandpa had told you about him. I love learning new things about people and places. Thank you for my Patreon sunglasses. I got them the other day. I love them. It made my day. Keep doing what you’re doing. We all appreciate all the hard work you do in making your vlogs. Take care of yourself and Jah. God bless you both 😊

Great job Jordan. I travel thru you brother. Dont stop what you're doing.

I appreciate hearing that. I like knowing I'm helping people that can't travel see the world through my camera

[@manueltovar6771]

@@DazewithJordantheLion was gonna mention thats a great camera you got. When you did the video of paul walker and zoomed in on the camera on top of the building i was like wow what a clear shot of the camera so far up there. I haven't seen all your videos but im definitely going thru them on a daily basis. Thanks again.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@irocksixx]

Wow, you are getting to the nitty gritty in Texas! Seems like you're getting to small towns around there, and if you end up in Frankston, my family founded that town and I could get you the whole history of it too. The Clakeley's. Cleburne was the first place I went camping too! Cobb was one of the best movies about a baseball character IMO.

[@jebbaldwin8516]

thanks jordan...his niece ms.tris speaker scott was my third grade teacher....and golfed with my grandmother .....good folk!!

Jordan I so love these sports vlogs Tris Speaker like all the others so well done ,you are so professional! Thanks

Great Vlog ! I learned about Tris Speaker and the amazing life he had. The museum was very interesting. So many historic things to see.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, what a nice little Museum, it's great that they have a couple of Tris's bats and some lovely old photos. I love seeing very old newspapers with major headlines of the day aswell. Great vlog Jordan.

[@sidexside2558]

I live really near from Hubbard and didn't have a clue about this. Now I know. Thanks Jordan!

[@ellennewth6305]

Entertaining baseball story, Jordan! I'm from Boston and never heard of the Boston Americans or Tris Speaker. You are a wealth of information!!!

Thank you Jordan for a great vlog! It's so much fun learning about the things you're passionate about that I know nothing about!

[@scottieburnett5606]

Leave it to Jordan to educate me about another great of baseball. Speaker’s comeback from injury was incredible. The arm switch out was amazing. His business and philanthropic endeavors were impressive.

[@ryankirk7642]

Tris Speaker is the All Time leader in doubles in MLB with 792. I remember as a kid playing baseball wanting to beat that record haha.

[@timbuege2624]

Cool vlog! This is my first time hearing of Tris. Quite the story!

Living in Waco for most of my 46 years, I never knew that was in little Hubbard. Was always just a slow down on the way to Corsicana. Cool that you’re checking out my neck of the woods.

Can you imagine playing baseball with those old gloves. Never heard of him, but thanks for telling about this man. Seems like all roads led to Cleveland after NY and Boston after being traded.

Very informative Jordan. I used to hear Tris Speaker mentioned on Indians broadcasts decades ago. Now I understand why.

[@plymouthduster2252]

Love watching your channel and your explorations you do, I hope to be able to see some of the things in person that you have vloged someday. Do you plan on going to Greenville, South Carolina where Shoeless Joe Jackson is buried and is from?

Jordan, why were the bats of that era so much darker then the ones now

[@MrTNTReviews]

Hi Jordan I have a question about yesterday's video. I was just wondering if you know if the big bopper memorial was ever finished? I seen a model of the statue but I dont think it was ever finished. It would be a real nice tribute to a Rock Legend if it was finished. Ps keep up the great videos!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I'm not sure.. I haven't made it to Beaumont yet

[@mommawolfv1881]

Hey Jordan when you come back to tx you should check out the von Eric’s in Dallas they were superstar wrestlers back in the day they have a curse story.

[@3crowns21]

Great video! Tris was really born 1889 and his wife's maiden name was Mary Frances Cudahy. Misspellings on gravesites are disgraceful. My info is from the book "Spoke: A Biography of Tris Speaker," by Charles C. Alexander.

[@Mustang00007]

Could have come to Adelaide, where unless I'm wrong the band was formed not Sydney. By the way its only 2hrs from Sydney..say hi to the dog. Gnaw.

[@Billsfishing7]

Great Video!

[@angelahartley3212]

I so enjoyed this!! Thank you!! I dont know if I ever heard of a player manager before!! I could partially see someone named mary....assume it was his wife....did he have any children? Take care!!

[@FalconLair09]

Speaker played probably the shallowest of shallow in centerfield during the dead ball era - im not sure how well it would pan out in the live ball era of today - great hitter by any standard even though he only won 1 batting title in his career - keep in mind he played in his prime at the same time as Ty Cobb, who was also in his prime - i believe it was Speaker, Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson, the top outfielders of their time

[@thecrazytexan5899]

[@2pi628]

Don't forget to stop by New Braunfels --- "Dizzy" Dean played there for the NB Tigers. here is an excerpt from the Sophienburg museum in New Braunfels.... ----"An added bonus to your stay at Camp Placid would be to watch the New Braunfels Tigers baseball team across the street. You wouldn’t even have to go into the bleachers, you could watch from your room. The NB Tigers were organized in 1909 by Ernst Stein and for almost 43 years they were a big attraction. They played teams from all over Texas and it’s believed that the rivalry between NB and Seguin sports started with the Tigers. Crowds filled the stands to see the arguments and fist fights that regularly occurred between the rival teams. The biggest name player was major league Hall of Famer Jerome “Dizzy” Dean. The one time St. Louis Cardinal and Chicago Cubs star pitched for the Tigers while he was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston. Tigers baseball was formed by a group of men that loved the game. My dad was on that team with Dizzy Dean and he talked about it the rest of his life." And stop by Gruene Hall in Gruene,TX(Suburb of NB) Its one of Willie Nelson's places to play. Many music videos and even a few movies have been filmed there. Lots of Music history in that building.

I've been home 3 days. I didn't do any of that. Take care

[@theblacksheep5226]

Tris Speaker stated in an interview with a Boston paper that he had been a member of the KKK as at the time he was anti-Catholic which was a stance the Klan had at the time. However he quickly left the Klan as he became friends w several Catholic Red Sox players and regretted that he had ever joined.
