Title: Bullet Rogan—Greatest Two-Way Player Ever?
Speaker: Thomas Kern
Some say Shohei Ohtani is the greatest two-way baseball player
ever. Others point out the exploits of Babe Ruth. What about
Bullet Rogan, whose career was played in the shadows, first in
Hawaii with the US 25 th Infantry in the 1910s and then in the
Negro Leagues. And in addition to his pitching and hitting,
Rogan was an accomplished manager. His baseball story is
worth learning about.

Gibson Foundation. He is also a longstanding member of the
Society of American Baseball Research and has written many
bios of Negro League and Pittsburgh Pirate greats. Kern
