Episode 327: Ralph Carhart

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by RALPH CARHART. 

Just in time to celebrate the 75^th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut, the author and baseball historian joins the boys to talk about 42’s best (and worst) big screen portrayals, shares what it was like to interview Jackie’s daughter Sharon and, along with Lou, becomes a voluntary spokesperson for the Ireland Board of Tourism.

Check out the new SABR book Not an Easy Tale to Tell: Jackie Robinson on the Page, Stage, and Screen!
