I’ve been listening to Joe’s podcast (the Poscast) and reading his books for years, and I’d originally reached out to him, hoping to get him on to discuss Brittle Innings, a Hugo-nominee but also a baseball book.

I was asked not too long ago if I would like to interview a New York Best Selling Author, I wasn't sure how I could work it into British Baseball, but I didn't have to, but there are elements of British Baseball in Joe's book and it even has a segment dedicated to it, sounded like a fun idea and having had the chance to interview writers in the past, I found them and their subjects extremely fascinating. Now I know im now Steve Klein of Reading the Game, but I really enjoyed my time talking with Joe about the Negro Leagues, the time he has spent in the UK and the sports he ha covered, the MLB London Series and of course, his new book "Why We Love Baseball", his knowledge of the british game and how they got to be included in his 7th publication. its a fun read, great segments and worth picking up if you love your baseball books, it could even make a great gift for the baseball fan in your life. here are the links below. https://linktr.ee/WhyWeLoveBaseballUK

Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments by Joe Posnanski https://amzn.to/46EEbM5 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller WALL STREET JOURNAL bestseller #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Posnanski is back with a masterful ode to the game: a countdown of 50 of the most memorable moments in baseball's history, to make you fall in love with the sport all over again. Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends, and of forgotten moments almost lost to time. It's Willie Mays's catch, Babe Ruth's called shot, and Kirk Gibson's limping home run; the slickest steals; the biggest bombs; and the most triumphant no-hitters. But these are also moments raw with the humanity of the game, the unheralded heroes, the mesmerizing mistakes drenched in pine tar, and every story, from the immortal to the obscure, is told from a unique perspective. Whether of a real fan who witnessed it, or the pitcher who gave up the home run, the umpire, the coach, the opposing player—these are fresh takes on moments so powerful they almost feel like myth. Posnanski's previous book, The Baseball 100, portrayed the heroes and pioneers of the sport, and now, with his trademark wit, encyclopedic knowledge, and acute observations, he gets at the real heart of the game. From nineteenth-century pitchers' duels to breaking the sport's color line in the '40s, all the way to the greatest trick play of the last decade and the slide home that became a meme, Posnanski's illuminating take allows us to rediscover the sport we love—and thought we knew. Why We Love Baseball is an epic that ends too soon, a one-of-a-kind love letter to the sport that has us thrilled, torn, inspired, and always wanting more.About the author Joe Posnanski is the New York Times bestselling author of Paterno, The Machine, and The Secret of Golf.
