Episode 2 - Bottom of the 33rd
Bottom of the 33rd, by Dan Barry, describes the longest game ever played in professional baseball history, between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings in 1981, and the myriad characters who were involved.
At the beginning of the episode we welcomed author Dan Barry, who very kindly agreed to answer some questions about the book. He provided an outline of the book, and talked a bit the impact the Pawtucket Red Sox have had on the city of Pawtucket. He also discussed his heroes from the story.
Later we were joined by John McGee (@epouvantail) from the Bat Flips & Nerds podcast (@batflips_nerds). We covered our favourite characters in the book, amongst other things, and went on a bit of a tangent to discuss the state of contemporary minor league baseball.
