#340 - Charlie Chaplin Can't Save You - "Big" Bill Tilden

This week, we check out of the greatest tennis players who has ever lived. He's a hall of famer, and a lot of his records still stand, today. He was also a real character, writing Broadway plays, starring in silent films, and hanging out with the biggest celebrities of his day, including Charlie Chaplin. He also led a life of secrecy from the general public, hiding his true life from the outside world. He is eventually arrested for a terrible crime, and when you think it can't get any worse, he does it again. And again. His tale has a pathetic ending, from one of the most prolific people of his time!! Hide your true self from the world, be the greatest tennis player on earth, while also selling insurance on the side, and never ever learn your lesson with "Big" Bill Tilden!!
