3 Nights in August
Friday, April 15, 2005
Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights, turns his attention to baseball with 3 Nights in August--a new book about one three-game series between the Cardinals and Cubs in 2003. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa joins him for a look back at those games, and a discussion of the real meaning of baseball.
