Summary

Sarah talks to NY Times best-selling author Andrew Maraniss about his most recent book Singled Out, which tells the story of Glenn Burke- the first openly gay MLB player who helped bring the Nike brand to baseball, invented the high five, and was beloved in the clubhouse by his teammates, but was run out of baseball by cowardly executives. Sarah also asks Andrew about his path to sports writing, why he writes about the intersectionality of sports and culture, the success of his first book, and his days writing for The (Vanderbilt) Hustler.
