Joe Posnanski, Prolific Sportswriter and Author

One of America's best sportswriters, Joe Posnanski, joins us for this episode. Posnanski has twice been named the best sports columnist in America by the Associated Press Sports Editors. He's also written for The Athletic and Sports Illustrated. In this episode, we chat about his new book, "Why We Love Baseball," as well as a couple of his other books and his new Substack newsletter called Joe Blogs. Topics covered include how baseball treats its fans, MLB's numerous rule changes this past season, whether or not a robo ump will soon be part of MLB games, is baseball losing popularity, and if so, how the sport can become more fan-friendly, the debacle that is the Oakland A's situation, the annoying number of ads on radio game broadcasts, and the greatness of Negro Leagues champion Buck O'Neil.
