To his family, he was simply “Wesley.” But to all in Major-League Baseball, Lyman Wesley Bostock Jr. was a master with a bat. A career .311 hitter, greats of the game like George Brett and Rod Carew believed Bostock had the potential for 3,000 hits, and a possible Hall Of Fame career. Long before signing a massive contract with the Angels, Lyman was born the son of a Negro Leagues player. Father and son had little contact in the boy’s childhood. Bostock would later say, “My father helped teach Willie [Mays] but never taught me.” A star high school player in Los Angeles, Bostock almost never played college baseball. He arrived on campus during the tumult of the late 1960s, a period similar to the early 2020s. For Bostock, the fight for equality and social justice, was more important than baseball. “The cause” almost cost him his career. #FOXSports #MLB #LymanBostock SUBSCRIBE to get the latest FOX Sports content: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeFOXSPORTS ►First Things First’s YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeFIRSTTHINGSFIRST ►UNDISPUTED’s YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeUNDISPUTED ►The Herd with Colin Cowherd’s YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeTHEHERD ►Speak For Yourself’s YouTube Channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeSPEAKFORYOURSELF ►FOX Bet Live’s YouTube Channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeFOXBETLIVE ►PBC ON FOX’s YouTube Channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribePBCONFOX ►FOX Soccer’s YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeFOXSOCCER ►NASCAR ON FOX YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeNASCARonFOX ►WWE ON FOX YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeWWEONFOX ►CFB ON FOX YouTube channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeCFBONFOX Like Fox Sports on Facebook: http://foxs.pt/FOXSPORTSFacebook Follow Fox Sports on Twitter: http://foxs.pt/FOXSPORTSTwitter Follow Fox Sports on Instagram: http://foxs.pt/FOXSPORTSInstagram About FOX Sports: With exclusive highlights, original programming, and behind the scenes footage, FOX Sports' YouTube channel provides the sports content that fans are hungry for.
