Season 15 Episode 19- Jane Leavy

Steve interviews Jane Leavy (00:31:45) the author of a new book about what is ailing baseball called, "Make Me Commissioner." The First Lady of The Sports-Casters returns with a new book detailing her plans to return baseball to its rightful place in the American experience. Jane and Steve talk about analytics and how it has helped and hurt baseball, the injuries crushing pitchers, and the discrepancy in payrolls across the Major Leagues. Jane also explains why she didn't write about a player this time, why she will never write about Joe DiMaggio, and why she still hasn't decided what she will write next. Steve starts the show with first things first. The 2025 Braves are not going down without a fight, the New Orleans Saints name Spencer Rattler the starting quarterback, and Italian football has returned for the 2025-26 season. The show ends with one last thing as Paula joins us to talk about a family vacation to see Oasis. For more information follow the podcast on twitter @sports_casters Email: [e-mail]
