The History of California Baseball

Larry Mantle talks with author Kevin Nelson about his new book The Golden Game: The Story of California Baseball (Heyday books), that chronicles more than 150 years of baseball history from sandlot ball in the 1850's to the arrival of the state's five major league teams and beyond. It is a narrative of California's unique role in the sport as a birthplace and proving ground for more major leaguers than any other state.
