Nixon Now Podcast

Last month an article appeared in Politico Magazine that commemorated the opening day of baseball 50 years ago at RFK stadium in Washington, D.C. It discussed President Nixon’s love for the game, and his relationship with then Washington Senators manager, and baseball great Ted Williams. The writer of the piece joins us on this edition of the Nixon Now Podcast. His name is Frederic Frommer. He’s the author of "You Gotta Have Heart," a history of Washington baseball, and is head of the sports business practice at the Dewey Square Group, a public affairs firm in Washington. Interview by Jonathan Movroydis.
