Lovin baseball when we were 12 and innocent. Is a collection of over 50 podcasts conducted by Ralph Zig Tyko with baseball greats, officials and everyday fans like me. It’s about the time when we loved the game and looked up to the players. A time of Sunday afternoon doubleheaders, When you could stand down by the railing and watch your heroes warming up, playing catch and being able to hear that wonderful sound of the ball smacking into the pocket of a well worn glove. A time when those gloves smelled like leather and baseball cards smelled like bubble gum and a day at the ballpark was a magical event. When extra innings started with the bases empty and pitchers threw complete games and batted for themselves. A time when Willie, Mickey and the Duke was more than a song and Red Barber was sitting in the catbird seat. I had the priviledge of working with Ralph on his first book, Comfortably Zoned in a Vat o pine tar and can’t think of anyone who loves the game of baseball more or who is more qualified to bring you this compilation. I know it was a labor of love for Ralph and I hope you enjoy it!
