On April 10th author Richard Bradley attended Sports Talk with the

Silver Sluggers to discuss his book:

The Greatest Game: The Yankees, the Red Sox and the Playoff of '78

"The Greatest Game is a spellbinding, page-turning re-creation of a great rivalry, a great season, and a great game, which makes it a great sports book. But it is also on a micro level an often moving exploration of the men who played the game and on a macro level an incisive examination of baseball in the 1970s and, to the extent that baseball is the national pastime, of America generally at a time of change -- which makes it a terrific cultural history." -- Neal Gabler, author of Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination
