In 1886, The Chicago White Stockings were the first to trek south to Hot Springs, when the team\u0027s owner and manager decided the boys needed a place to practice and get ready for the season ahead. Other teams soon followed, including the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburg Pirates, Brooklyn Dodgers and many others. Hot Springs was \u0022wide open\u0022 in those days, frequented by famous and infamous characters. And so came the greatest of the great, to play ball, for a month or so in late winter and early spring, including more than a third of all players enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York. Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Cy Young, Honus Wagner-the best who ever played the game-all worked out here. And so did the legends of the Negro Leagues. The likes of Satchel Page and Josh Gibson also came to train in this southern resort town, staying in different hotels, but working just as hard to get ready for their seasons when baseball was segregated.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Charles Alexander","code":"nm8633377","characters":"Baseball Historian"},{"name":"Marty Appel","code":"nm0960486","characters":"Baeball Historian"},{"name":"D.J.
