CCB #128: Rethinking Fandom with Craig Calcaterra

CCB #128: Rethinking Fandom with Craig Calcaterra

With Opening Day is just a few days away Sara and Danny are joined by Craig Calcaterra to discuss his new book "Rethinking Fandom: How to Beat the Sports-Industrial Complex at Its Own Game." There is a sportsbook mid-construction at Wrigley Field less than one year from trading the World Series core, so this is a timely conversation about the sports business and how fans interact with it. We talk about tanking, the CBA, why we all love Greg Maddux and more. In the second half of the show Craig joins us for our NL Central preview where we look at a Brewers team built to win and a Cardinals team that looks uniquely stacked for devil's magic. Finally, we try to figure out the Cubs Opening Day 28-man roster and share one thing we are each looking for on Opening Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
