About The Podcast

The Baseball Book Club is a podcast for fans who love the stories behind the game.

Each episode explores the world of baseball history, literature, and storytelling. From legendary moments and forgotten figures to modern authors and historians. 

At its core, this show is about connection—between generations of fans, between readers and writers, and to the game itself and the memories it made for us along the way. 

We’re not just here to recap—we’re here to rediscover. To bring overlooked stories back into the light. To celebrate the voices that preserve the game. And to create a space where baseball fans can feel like they’re part of something timeless.

Whether you’re a lifelong historian, a casual fan, or someone who just loves a good story, you’ve got a seat here.
