Show notes

In episode 14, Kevin chats with Tyler Kepner, who has covered Major League Baseball for more than 30 years, dating back to when he made a baseball magazine out of his house as a high schooler. Kepner, who has authored "K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches" and "The Grandest Stage: A History of The World Series" covered baseball for the New York Times from 2000-23. His origin story begins with that magazine, which opened doors with his hometown Phillies, before he got his first professional job covering the Angels, and then the Mariners. He tells those stories, and what he learned from writing about some of the biggest names in baseball. Hear how Tyler Kepner broke in.
