The American League Division Series start today. This afternoon, the lowly Boston Red Sox play in Houston, and then tonight, the 27-time world champion New York Yankees play in Cleveland.

Tomorrow, we get fully four postseason baseball games, with both National League series starting.

The best sports month of the year is upon us. This hour, we preview the Major League postseason proper and take a look back at the local Minor League season with an episode of WNPR's just-finished Yard Goats podcast, The Second First Season.

GUESTS:

  • Dom Amore - Covers baseball and UConn men's basketball for the Hartford Courant
  • Sam Miller - A national baseball writer at ESPN and coauthor of The Only Rule Is It Has To Work: Our Wild Experiment Building a New Kind of Baseball Team

Colin McEnroe and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.

Jonathan is a producer for ‘The Colin McEnroe Show.’ His work has been heard nationally on NPR and locally on Connecticut Public’s talk shows and news magazines. He’s as likely to host a podcast on minor league baseball as he is to cover a presidential debate almost by accident. Jonathan can be reached at jmcnicol@ctpublic.org.
