The Bookshelf Podcast: Glenn Stout

February 6, 2012

Last week I posted an interview with Kostya Kennedy, author of 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports

Well, the tributes continue with this week’s guest, Glenn Stout, a veteran writer whose latest book, Fenway 1912: The Birth of a Ballpark, a Championship Season, and Fenway’s Remarkable First Year, earned him the Seymour Medal, the Society for American Baseball Research’s highest award.

Stout has a hefty resume to his credit, with books about the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs most prominent. He also serves as senior editor of the annual Best American Sports Writing series.

We had a chance to chat about the Seymour Medal, Fenway’s past (and future?), and responsibilities of selecting from the hundreds of worthy submissions for BASW consideration.
