John Sayles on baseball and lesser matters

January 18, 2008

The director of Eight Men Out compares the Black Sox scandal of 1919 with the steroids scandal of “aught-eight” in this interview with the Village Voice.

I particularly enjoyed the interchanges between Sayles, as sportswriter Ring Lardner, and Studs Terkel, as Hugh Fullerton, as they put their heads together to bring the whole sordid affair to light.
