> DESCRIPTION

Join Robert Fleder, former Executive Editor of Sports Illustrated, as he talks about Damn Yankees (Ecco, 2012), a new collection of essays he edited, which demonstrates that no one feels neutral about the Yankees! In the line-up with Fleder for this program will be contributors Dan Barry, New York Times columnist and author of Bottom of the 33rd (Harper, 2011), and Bruce McCall, author of Marveltown (Farrar, Straus and Gioux, 2008). Along with Pete Dexter, Roy Blount, Jr., Jane Leavy, and Colum McCann, they make up this collection's winning team of writers whose stories illuminate the Bronx Bombers' personalities, rivalries and economics.
