I Interview the author of the book "At The Bat: The Strikeout That Shamed America" which GoodReads ranks the 13th best Baseball Novel of all time. Del Jones opens up about making the tough calls as a ref, and how he climbed the later so quickly from small town papers to USA Today.  Its a great conversation on the MLB now recognizing the Negro Leagues as pro leagues and how that will effect the Record Books.  Also Jackie Robinson wasn't the first Black Player in Major League Baseball, but we talk about the last one before him in 1884.  You will love this conversation as we take a trip down memory lane.
