Show Notes
The Madison Mallards are celebrating their 25th season this year! This is a pretty big deal, considering Madison historically has never had a taste for baseball. Today, we’re taking a look back at the team’s origin story, how they helped shape the world of collegiate summer baseball, and how they changed the city’s attitude toward the sport. To get the details, we spoke with Tom Alesia, longtime local writer and author of the new book “Baseball Like It Oughta Be: How a Shoe Salesman’s Madison Mallards and His Renegade Staff Ignited the Summer-Collegiate Baseball Revolution!”
