Ryan Whirty is a baseball researcher and writer. Among his many writing pursuits is his blog HomePlateDontMove, a Negro Leagues Baseball blog named after a famous Satchel Paige quote. A few months ago, I sent Ryan a copy of Curveball at the Crossroads after reading a post he wrote on baseball and the blues. I cold-emailed Ryan, but based on his passions, I knew he would be interested.
After reading Curveball at the Crossroads, Ryan asked if I would be open to an email interview. Of course I was interested.
Ryan emailed me some very good questions about the influences of the book and my thoughts on the commonalities of baseball and the blues.
Check out the interview for a great deep dive into Curveball at the Crossroads.
