Episode 36 -- Jacob Kornhauser

If you were a young baseball player and were told that you would reach the Major Leagues one day -- but you would only play one game, and only one game -- would all the years of playing and sacrificing be worth it?

On Episode 36 of the Life Around the Seams podcast, our guest is author Jacob Kornhauser to discuss his latest book, "A Cup of Coffee." Kornhauser identifies 11 players who are just like "Moonlight" Graham from the movie "Field of Dreams." (Graham is a real player, by the way.) Kornhauser's subjects are interesting, and so is Kornhauser for choosing this topic.

We discuss similar themes for these 11 players, why their briefest of moments in the majors made it easier to walk away, the teammates who show compassion in helping ensure they get into a game, the managers who are cast as villains, and a lot of brotherly ties ... including how Jacob's younger brother is the editor of this book.
