Listen "Paul Dickson"
Episode Synopsis
The unique slanguage of baseball.
Writer Paul Dickson spent several years researching the special slang of baseball, and how many of those words eventually made it into our everyday language.
In this 1989 interview, Dickson talks about the origins of some of those terms, words like “bullpen,” “fan,” and the phrase “out of left field.”
