Pinstripe Empire: The New York Yankees from Before the Babe to After the Boss will be released next month.
We talk about the monumental task of writing a team history, his personal experiences in Pinstripes and what he likes to watch for on the Yankee Stadium Scoreboard.

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives. Which is a nice way of saying, “Damn, we’re getting old.” Here’s the latest proof. In the next few weeks, we’ll mark 20 years since Christian Laettner hit the shot against Kentucky, to lead Duke into the 1992 Final Four.
ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski has written a new book about the game. “The Last Great Game” dissects both coaches, teams and the circumstances that led up to one of the most iconic moments in NCAA history.

If you haven’t read Luke O’Brien’s great story about Howie Spira at Deadspin, take a few minutes and do that now. I read it yesterday, and in my capacity as a radio producer, decided to piggy back O’Brien’s hard work and turn the story into some radio news gold.
