RNR #170: Devin Mesoraco, retiring Brandon Phillips' number, and author Tom Van Riper

To begin today's podcast, Chad Dotson talked about the glorious return of Devin Mesoraco, then went on a little rant about Brandon Phillips and his comments upon returning to Cincinnati for the first time. In addition, Chad was joined by Tom Van Riper, author of Cincinnati Red and Dodger Blue, a new book that looks at the Reds-Dodgers rivalry of the 1970s and 80s. Tom will be signing his book at the Barnes and Noble in Newport, KY on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at noon; he'll also be at the Waterstone B&N at 3pm that day. Go meet Tom and tell him Redleg Nation sent you. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.
