Listen "Inside MLB Front Offices and The Philosophy of Baseball: Liz Benn Joins Kelley Franco"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Three Inning Fan Show with Kelley Franco, Liz Benn, former Director of Major League Operations for the Mets and current analyst on SNY’s “Baseball Night in New York” joins Kelley Franco to pull back the curtain on how MLB front offices operate. From scouts to analytics to all-nighters, Liz breaks down the job behind the game. But that’s just the first inning. As a philosophy professor, she also dives into what makes baseball beautiful. She enlightens and humors us in discussing what Plato might have thought of the game on the field, the concept of the aesthetic, and whether baseball breaking our hearts is part of the human condition. And of course don’t miss Liz’s take on…what’s good to eat while watching the ballgame. *Music by Podington Bear
