Manage episode 460191184 series 2802094
Rex and I are taking two weeks to recover from the holidays and holiday travel and will be back January 16 with the first episode of Season Six. Here are the show notes from our Episode 106:
-------------------------------------------
This week Professor Peter Dreier (Occidental College) joins Hooks & Runs to discuss his new book, "Baseball Rebels: The Players, People and Social Movements That Shook Up the Game and Changed America" (Univ. Nebraska Press, 2022), co-authored with Prof. Robert Elias. The conversation covers not only well known names in baseball history like Bill Veeck and Larry Doby but also little known players almost forgotten by history. You'll hear amazing stories about people like Octavius Catto, Sam Nahem, Jackie Mitchell and more. This is a highly recommended book.
Dreier and Elias, incidentally, also released a companion book, "Major League Rebels: Baseball Battles Over Workers' Rights and American Empire" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022).
"Previously on Hooks & Runs" - Professor Jeremi Duru on Curt Flood (Ep. 104).
Check It Out:
Prof. Dreier recommends The History Channel's documentary, "After Jackie"
Rex recommends the new single from Megadeth, "We'll Be Back."
Andrew recommends "Operation Mincemeat," starring Colin Firth and available on Netflix.
Craig recommends the new album from a reunited Porcupine Tree, "Closure/Continuation." This is "Of the New Day."
