FanGraphs Audio: Dayn Perry, Totally 80s
Episode 122
In this episode of the pod, we utilize veteran baseball writer Dayn Perry’s advanced age more for good than evil, as we use A Baseball Winter — Terry Pluto and Jeffrey Neuman’s chronicle of the 1984-85 offseason — as an entree into a discussion of baseball in the 1980s. Among the topics discussed: how exactly to pronounce Don Aase’s surname.
