Award-winning journalist Skylar Browning and researcher Jeremy Watterson reveal Montana's relationship with America's favorite pastime from 1866 to the present day. The two authors of a recently published book of the same title discuss the fights, booze, cheating, and gambling that fueled the state's first professional league in 1892; the star-studded barnstorming tours and threats of bloodshed that marked the turn of the twentieth century; and the ways in which Montana players who made their way to big league diamonds helped change the sport on and off the field.
