Some Guys and a GOAT - Dodgers vs. Reds (8/3/2006) with Craig Calcaterra

Most of the people I approach to be on this podcast have to think about it for a minute, if not a couple of weeks.Craig Calcaterra was not one of those people.The baseball writer and proprietor of Cup of Coffee, a newsletter about baseball, knew instantly which game he wanted to talk about. One he was at in person, at the time an uninspired and unhappy lawyer, that featured his favorite pitcher, Greg Maddux.It’s a game he has thought a lot, and even written, about.Maddux never threw a no-hitter in his long and storied career, but on that night, at 40-years-old, he came as close as he ever would and provided one of the key inciting incidents on the way from Craig Calcaterra esq. becoming Craig Calcaterra baseball writer.Interstitial sound thanks to FSN Ohio (George Grande and Chris Welsh)Music by Bryson Elrick
