Baseball ShangriLA

Melissa Ludtke - Locker Room Talk

Listen Later

We had the pleasure of talking to author and sportswriter, Melissa Ludtke, about her new book - Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle To Get Inside.

She tells her story how as a Sports Illustrated reporter during the 1977 World Series she was denied access to the baseball clubhouse. Sports Illustrated then sued Major League Baseball in 1978 on her behalf. The book details her experience and the court case, while also painting a picture of the attitudes in that time. Join us as we walk through her story.
