No Bad Hops: Baseball People with Baseball Becks

Joining the show is Becks (@baseballbecks), a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan and author whose new book, Baseball People, just dropped this month. Because we recorded this one early in the day, we had a classic battle of the beverages. Becks held it down on the West Coast with some green tea, while I officially kicked off the unofficial start of summer with a cold Breeze Summer Lager from Wander Back Beerworks (NJ). We were joined by a special guest star, her son who was sipping on some wa-wa. Becks shares how she fell in love with baseball and what sparked her passion for the game. We dive into how baseball is evolving to connect with the younger generation, specifically the massive impact of young women in the modern fan base. Becks runs through her favorite Giants players from the past and present, gives us her honest take on this year's squad, and reveals the best spots to take in a game at Oracle Park. Inside Baseball People: We get the full background on her new book—the inspiration, the creative process behind the artwork, and what might be next. We wrap up discussing the videos she produces, what drives her creative vision, and what she hopes fans take away from her page.
