This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by Byron Motley.
The author and screenwriter talks to the boys about his father, legendary Negro Leagues umpire Bob Motley, explains what happened to his screenplay about Effa Manley, gives his thoughts on instant replay in baseball and pulls the curtain back on why he absolutely adores Cuba.
