Bring On The Baseball!

By Shay Zeller on Wednesday, April 5, 2006.

We talk with The New Hampshire Fisher Cats General Manager Shawn Smith about the team's strategy this year. It's their third season; we'll take a look at how ready the team is for its opening day tomorrow, April 6. And, we talk with author Cecilia Tan whose new book The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games reviews and rates 100+ years of Red Sox history. As a Yankees fan she's got a lively take on her second love, the Boston Red Sox.

Please note: The Red Sox interview was originally supposed to air during this Wednesday broadcast, but because of technical difficulties, it didn't air until tomorrow's show (4/6/06). Both interviews are contained in this web version as they were originally intended to air.
