Listen now
Description
On the third ever episode of Baseball vs the World, Javier switches things up from the silly (at least a little) to welcome on writer (e.g. The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune) and accomplished author (e.g. Sometimes You See it Coming, Dreamland, Paradise Alley) to discuss his latest book, The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City. The two discuss the book, the history of baseball in New York, how each era of the city dictated the direction of the sport, funny chapter names, and of course this week's awards: topics we'd love to see books be done on and most intimidating players EVER!!
