Baseball and BBQ Episode #71 - Joan Ryan, author of Intangibles

A team chemistry filled episode. 

Joan Ryan is an award-winning journalist and author of five books. We were extremely fortunate to discuss her latest effort, Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry. The book explains team chemistry through incredible interviews and stories helping to demystify this very real phenomenon. Are you a cynic; a non-believer? You won't be once you hear this interview with Joan, a sports journalist who has covered every major sporting event from the Super Bowl and the World Series to the Olympics and championship fights. Her sports columns and features earned 13 Associated Press Sports Editors Awards, the National Headliner Award, the Women's Sports Foundation's Journalism Award, and the prestigious Edgar A. Poe Award. She is a member of the Pandemic Baseball Book Club and her book is a must-read and treasure to have as part of your home library. 

Michael Mullen and Brett Mandel join us briefly to discuss their company, Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com and their special promotion to benefit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, as well as their newly released home plate shaped wooden cutting board and other soon to be released grilling tools.  Great guys and a wonderful company.

We conclude the show with the song, "Ace & Bobo" from our friends Dave Dresser and Shel Krakofsky.  You can find the song on Facebook at Dave Dresser Music or find the song and video on YouTube.  While at Dave Dresser Music or YouTube enjoy some of their other songs as well.

Please know how much we appreciate our listeners.  We hope that all of you are staying safe.
