In April 1950, Jim Martin, a catcher for the West Texas New Mexico League’s Pampa Oilers, was violently struck by lightning during a game in Abilene, Texas. He not only survived the strike but he played the next game, going two for five. This week, Martin&apos;s daughter, Beverly Winter-Donaho, joins us to discuss Martin and his time in the minors during the 40s and 50s. In part two, Craig visits PNC Park and what&apos;s left of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.You can support Hooks &amp; Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode (if any were), through <a href='https://bookshop.org/shop/hooksandruns'>our store at Bookshop.org</a>.
