Summary: Steve Goldstein speaks with University of Nebraska at Omaha history professor Steven Bullock, whose new book "Playing for their Nation" chronicles professional baseball players who served during world war two.
Very timely, with the link to Arizona Cardinal pro football player who died recently in Afghanistan.
This is a fairly straightforward phone interview, but with some interesting facts for the sports fan. They link baseball, currently in it's first month of the season, and football... just had a draft and of course the Pat Tillman story. I can picture this playing just about anywhere any time this week.
