Curses: Carl Mays & Championship Banners

from The Baseball Book Club · host The Baseball Book Club

Carl Mays killed Ray Chapman in 1920, but what if you could go back in time and alter history? Author Howard Camerik weaves a story in his book The Curse of Carl Mays that changes the course of so many in baseball. He'll join us to discuss the inspiration behind his book, the research that brought authenticity to the story, and the creative process of blending real baseball history into a compelling work of fiction. Also, John and Leroy continue with the World Series Rewind and move up to 1948, the World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves. With so many side stories, this will be a compelling segment. [email protected]
