However, after he converted to Christianity, he quit baseball and over a period of time and became famous for his ability to deliver sermons in a particularly frenzied fashion to his audience. Soon, Sunday became a huge draw across the United States and drew huge crowds wherever he went including the largest cities in the country. He was active during the late 19th century and early 20th century, when media was not that big and that is what makes Sunday’s popularity an even bigger achievement.
