Monday morning May 24, 2021 at 8:30 AM The Morning Drive hosts Kurt Wright and Marcus Certa are scheduled to welcome bestselling author and journalist, Jane Leavy, to the show. Whether you love sports or not, particularly baseball, you'll love listening to (and reading) Jane's personal stories from her coverage of some of the greats including Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax. Before Jane, the locker room in professional men's sports was relegated only to male reporters.
My high school classmate, I loved listening to Jane speak in her inimitable style of how she broke that previously unbreakable barrier to women. I'm looking forward to some fascinating personal stories from Jane's amazing career built on bringing the specialness of American heroes into our homes.
Tune in to 620 AM, 96.3 FM this Monday morning at 8:30 AM !!
JANE LEAVY BESTSELLING AUTHOR & JOURNALIST
Jane Leavy is the author of the *New York Times* bestsellers* The Last Boy (http://www.janeleavy.com/the-last-boy), **Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy (http://www.dev-dbla.com/sandy-koufax)* and the comic novel *Squeeze Play*, which *Entertainment Weekly* called "the best novel ever written about baseball." She was a staff writer at *The Washington Post* from 1979 to1988, first in the sports section, then writing for the style section. She covered baseball, tennis, and the Olympics for the paper. She wrote features for the style section about sports, politics, and pop culture, including, most memorably, a profile of Mugsy Bogues, the 5'3″ guard for the Washington Wizards, which was longer than he is tall.
