good interview. Gittell presents some interesting thoughts on baseball movies.
Personally, I've always found baseball movies imminently more watchable than baseball games. Or should I say playable, since I didn't like playing the sport and gravitated to football and basketball.
The thing I wished you asked Gittell, however, why watching team sports is so popular but playing, especially post-high school, is usually focused only on individual endeavors like golf, skiing. and tennis (the one sport I did like to watch). .
What a comprehensive and articulate take on both baseball and movies! I feel informed and moved.
Another keeper!
Thanks.
the book is all like that! it's really fun.
I love seeing two of my favorite Substack creators interacting! Thanks so much for this fantastic interview!
oh cool; glad you've read the other Noah! He's great.
