On this episode, we’re joined by Michael Clair. This episode is airing right around the time of the World Series. Michael Clair covers what I’d call “The Wide World of Baseball” for MLB.com. He writes features about interesting people and stories around the world, connected to playing baseball. And other things too.
Michael talked about the value of reading to a journalism origin story that also included Hollywood aspirations. He explained how he covers international baseball and walks us through some of his interesting stories, including baseball played in Bhutan and the Czech Republic.
