Diunte: Podcast with Stephen Bratkovich on “Bob Oldis: A Life in Baseball”
From SABR member Nicholas Diunte at Baseball Happenings on November 14, 2015, with SABR member Stephen Bratkovich:
This episode of the Baseball Happenings Podcast features an interview with author Stephen Bratkovich, who penned the biography of Bob Oldis, a former major league catcher and 1960 World Series Champion with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The book is entitled, “Bob Oldis: A Life in Baseball,” chronicling Oldis’ eight-decade career in baseball, who at 87, is still employed as a scout with the Miami Marlins. Bratkovich discusses how a letter asking to meet one of his heroes growing up turned into a two-year journey that ended up in the form of a book.
