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.

Don’t hesitate to direct pod-related correspondence to @cistulli on Twitter.

Audio after the jump. (Approximately 35 min. play time.)





Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

Founder’s Dirty Bastard! Visit the brewery next time you’re in Grand Rapids. A delightfully spacious downtown brewpub.

@ Eminor3rd – what in God’s blood are you writing about? Is this some half-witted trolling effort or spam? In either regard it’s rubbish, my friend. Grand Rapids, Mich. and ‘delightful’ never belong in the same sentence.
