Play ball! Why politicians love baseball's Opening Day
CNN
It's Opening Day! And despite the massive bummer that the Washington Nationals-New York Mets game is being postponed due to Covid-19 concerns, there's still a lot of baseball that is going to be played today -- and for the next seven months or so!
As a giant baseball and politics nerd, I've always been fascinated by the connection between the two. So I reached out to Frederic J. Frommer, author of "You Gotta Have Heart: Washington Baseball from Walter Johnson to the 2019 World Series Champion Nationals," and the head of sports PR at the Dewey Square Group, a public affairs firm in Washington, for some answers -- and a few history lessons, too! Our conversation, conducted via email and lightly edited for flow, is below.More Related News
