46/50 - From the Vault: Our Interview with Larry Lester and the Best and Worst Super Bowl Halftime Performances (From the Vault)
Manage episode 458951171 series 2802094
Craig and Rex are taking two weeks off so we reached into the vault this week to present two segments from shows past.
The first segment is our January 2021 interview with Larry Lester, baseball historian and co-founder of the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. This interview took place just a few short weeks after MLB officially recognized seven leading Negro Leagues from 1920 to 1948 as Major League Baseball. We talked about the process for researching and certifying Negro League statistics and snapshots of Negro League stars like Josh Gibson and Cool Papa Bell.
In the second segment, Eric and Craig presented their favorite and least favorite Super Bowl half-time performances. This segment ran in February 2021, just after The Weeknd's performance at Super Bowl LV in Tampa.
