Baseball: The Storytellers' Game

WSIU Public Broadcasting | By Pete Peterson
Published July 18, 2014 at 4:51 PM CDT

This week Pete Peterson celebrates the 200th edition of Reading Baseball.   The series of original sports essays and commentaries debuted on WSIU Radio in May 2004.

Now, Pete takes us back to the subject of that very first piece and explains how America's pastime lends itself to the kind of storytelling that has made Reading Baseball so successful over ten years.

Richard "Pete" Peterson is the editor of the St. Louis Baseball Reader and author of Pops: the Willie Stargell Story and Growing up with Clemente.
