This episode features one of the most influential literary figures in baseball history, Dan Okrent. The founder of Rotisserie Baseball (now known as Fantasy Baseball), author, editor, and baseball intellectual (my own term) talked about the game today, steroids, new rules, and more about baseball.
We also discuss his latest book, "The Guarded Gate", talking about eugenics, racism, and anti-immigrant sentiment in America, and how it affected two generations of Jews, Italians, and other European Immigrants
