We've talked about the 1985 World Series before on this podcast, but never with the guy who literally wrote the book on it. Marshall Garvey joins Mike and Bill for the 40th anniversary of when the teams clinched their respective pennants, setting up the second all-Missouri World Series matchup. Garvey's new book, Interstate '85: The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me Series relies heavily on player interviews with more than 25 of the players who took the field in that showdown, as well as Don Denkinger, whose infamous call in the 9th inning of Game 6 Garvey thinks is wildly blown out of proportion. It's a great talk and a great book, so check them both out!
Plus, happy birthday to José Valentín!
And farewell to Jeff Bittiger and Jim Bethke.
