Why We Love Baseball with Author, Joe Posnanski and Exceptional Barbecue Talk with Pork Mafia's, Phil Wingo and Guest Co-host, Doug Scheiding

Why We Love Baseball with Author, Joe Posnanski and Exceptional Barbecue Talk with Pork Mafia's, Phil Wingo and Guest Co-host, Doug Scheiding Joe Posnanski is a #1 New York Times bestselling author.  He has written for The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, NBC Sports and The Kansas City Star.  He has been named National Sportswriter of the Year by five different organizations and is the winner of two Emmy Awards. He joined us on episode 115 to discuss his book, The Baseball 100 and he has followed up that superb book with his latest project, Why We Love Baseball:  A History In 50 Moments.  Some of the moments will be ones you think you know quite well and others you may or not have heard of, but each of them includes something special which will make it as if you are hearing about them for the first time.  Joe has a unique writing and speaking style, both of which are evident from our discussion. Phil Wingo is the founder of Pork Mafia's championship sauces and rubs .  We met Phil at Pig Beach during the Jeff Michner Foundation BBQ Benefit and were fortunate to taste the tri-tip he was offering to the masses.  Phil travels around the world in search of spices to use in his rubs and cooking as well as to teach barbecue classes.  We were joined by Doug Scheiding and thoroughly enjoyed a discussion which included cooking whole hog as well as charitable causes which both of them are involved in.  The discussion is educational and very entertaining. We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
