Baseball History: "Whispers of the Gods" (PST Show #452)

What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an interview and discussion with author and historian Peter Golenbock about his new book titled "Whispers of the Gods." The book is an amazing reading experience that highlights storytelling of baseball greats from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Peter truly captured the essence of baseball through the eyes of many players who touched the game in some way shape or form. It was an amazing discussion!But first, we dove into the current situation surrounding Major League Baseball and how games are now being canceled for the upcoming 2022 season. (approx. 1:45)We then shifted course and discussed the new Embiid-Harden Era that we've witnessed early on and how the Philadelphia 76ers are now a true powerhouse in the Eastern Conference. (approx. 9:30)From there, we touched on the Flyers by talking about what this organization should do with defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. Should they re-sign him? Should they trade him? (approx. 16:10)Of course, we had to get into some Eagles talk as free agency is almost upon us. Which free agents should the Eagles try to keep, and which ones should go? (approx. 23:05)What we threw down on the Table was a great discussion with Peter Golenbock who wrote the book "Whispers of the Gods". How and why baseball storytelling has been critical to our being as sports fans. How will today's corps of amazing baseball players tell their stories in the future? Plus, stories of interacting with some baseball greats. All of this and much more this week on the Table!
