Sports Authors Showcase: Swinging ‘73: Baseball’s Wildest Season by Matt Silverman

This week we look at the book Swinging '73:  Baseball's Wildest Season.  Author Matt Silverman joins us to talk about that season and what made it the "Wildest Season".  The book takes a look not only at that season, but the events that occurred during that time frame.  You have George Steinbrenner buying the Yankees amid a "wife-swapping" scandal.  This was the first year of the designated hitter in the American League and the middle of the Oakland A's dynasty.  We were still involved in Vietnam and Elvis was still a star.  Join us on this trip back to 1973 with author Matt Silverman.
