This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by Peter Kerasotis.
The author of Alou: My Baseball Journey talks to the boys about how he got his start in journalism, the journey that led to him partnering up with former Major League player and manager Felipe Alou to co-write his autobiography, Alou’s relationship with Roberto Clemente and whether or not he believes the “Dominican Jackie Robinson” deserves a spot in Cooperstown.
