Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

71. Rick Laughland, author of THE SUBWAY SERIES
Q: Where did the idea for the book originally come from for you?
Laughland describes seeing a need to educate younger generations about the deep history of New York baseball, threading together classic eras with contemporary relevance, which guided the book's storytelling approach.
70. Scott Reich, author of ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER
Q: Why is this game considered a blueprint for the All-Star Game, and how did it influence later iterations?
Reich details how the 1933 Chicago-driven All-Star concept built on the 1917 event's ideas, turning exhibition entertainment into a regular, commercially viable tradition while overlapping with notable players like Babe Ruth and events like home run derbies.
70. Scott Reich, author of ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER
Q: How does the 1917 game connect to the broader history of baseball and American society at that time?
The discussion situates the game within World War I, immigration, labor, and public culture, showing how baseball served as a common thread linking daily life, civic identity, and broader national trends.
70. Scott Reich, author of ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER
Q: Where does this idea originally start off for you? How does this originally come to fruition for you here?
Reich explains that the discovery happened by accident while researching another topic, leading him to the 1917 Fenway Park game and Tim Murnane, which he felt was compelling enough to pivot his project toward a history-centered sports narrative.
69. Matthew Johnson, author of JACKIE ROBINSON'S REAL GONE
Q: What role do family and memory play in your work, and how did your upbringing influence the book?
Johnson discusses family connections to baseball, his grandfather, and the broader New York sports culture shaping his writing and the emotional core of the poems.
