The Baseball Lifer

The Baseball Lifer with Bob Gonzalez

My guest, a former college baseball player is the author of "A Flicker in the Water," a book of fishing stories. Most baseball players I've talked to fish in their off hours, and Ted Williams made a life out of it after his retirement. Gonzalez, the author of "A Flicker in the Water" did the interview from his boat, "The Twister." Before that, you can hear highlights from some of the broadcasters on the ballot for the 2024 Ford Frick Award. The winner will be announced December 6.

The Baseball Lifer Podcast Christmas special

On June 20, 1964, Jean Shepherd, then a radio personality on WOR in New York talked about his summer spent broadcasting minor league baseball after his discharge from the army. This performance took place before a live audience at the Limelight Cafe in New York's Greenwich Village. This was long before Shepherd would win worldwide fame with the classic movie "A Christmas Story." As a fan of his since my teenage years, it's my delight to share this piece with you.
