The following interview covers a wide range of topics including all three of the books that he has recently been associated with (The Teammates, Mr. Red Sox, and Few and Chosen), growing up in NW Portland, the baseball clinics that Carl Mays had in Portland, Rocky Beneventto, Bobby Doerr, Dominic DiMaggio, and Ted Williams, breaking up Virgil Trucks no-hitter, Slaughter’s Mad Dash, moving to third base when Vern Stephens arrived with the Red Sox, comments on a number of current players, re-living the Sox winning the World Series in 2004 and raising the WS banner the following year with Yaz, how he feels Major League Baseball would do in his hometown of Portland, and a whole lot more.
