Focusing on the Cardinals and Yankees and their dramatic seven-game battle in the 1926 World Series, “BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season,” by Thomas Wolf tells the story of key players such as Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, the Negro Leagues season, and how baseball and the inextricably linked aspects of American life—Prohibition, the Jazz Age, and the rise of sports gambling—converged that year. Author Thomas Wolf joined Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to chat a little baseball.
