For Love of the Game with Olivia Craighead
Is this not America? Is baseball not America\u2019s favorite pastime? Is \u201cFor Love of the Game\u201d a Sam Raimi movie? Technically speaking, sure! It\u2019s about a guy who\u2019s trying not to lose both his hand and his lady - some very Raimi-esque themes. Gawker\u2019s Olivia Craighead returns to the pod to talk about Kevin \u201cStraight Outta Compton\u201d Costner, and we go long on crackerjacks, Vin Scully\u2019s screenplay notes, and the cinematic pleasures of baseball. The crack of the bat, baby!\nPlus - the boys open up about their little league days (Ben obviously loved to steal bases).\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
