Jane Leavy is the author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created, The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America’s Childhood, and Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy. She joins us to discuss her newest book, Make Me Commissioner: I Know What’s Wrong With Baseball and How To Fix It. The book explores her love of baseball, features questions and answers with some of the game’s greatest, including Joe Torre, Dave Roberts, Jim Palmer, Dusty Baker, and many more. Jane offers her ideas on ways to improve the game as well as discussing what is great with the game. The hour we spent with Jane includes a lot from the book, but so much more as we experience the personality and insights of one of the preeminent baseball writers.
