Marty Gitlin - For the Love of the Game

Marty Gitlin made the transition from sportswriter to author many years ago, but sports continue to be near and dear to his heart, especially baseball. A few years back, Marty co-authored a book on Sam McDowell, the brilliant but troubled Cleveland Indians pitcher from the 1960s.

In this sports-themed episode of the Check Your Brain podcast, Marty and Tony Mazur wax nostalgic about the game of baseball, what it means them, how much has changed in the analytics age, and their favorite ballparks to catch a game.
