  • Resumen

  • On June 24, 1946, a bus carrying the Spokane Indians high in the Cascade Mountains in Washington, crashed to the bottom of a ravine, killing nine of its players.

    In this episode of the podcast, host Dana Auguster talks with Eric Vickrey about his book "Season of Shattered Dreams: Postwar Baseball, the Spokane Indians and A Tragic Bus Crash That Changed Everything." He discusses what inspired him to write this book, the events leading up to the tragic events of that day nearly one year after the end of World War II and the days and months after the accident and how the city of Spokane Washington dealt with the tragedy.

    Later in the show, Dana will send a shout out to the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates who is marking its 45th anniversary of winning the World Series.

    The Pirates were led by Hall of Fame first baseman Willie Stargell outfielder Dave Parker, known as "The Cobra" and reliever Kent Tekulve. That season the Bucs were not only powered by those key contributors but by a disco classic that made the Pirates into a pop culture phenomenon.
