    Books on Sports: Guest Jason Turbow, “They Bled Blue: Fernandomania, Strike-Season Mayhem, and the Weirdest Championship Baseball Ever Seen”

    A look back at 1981

    My guest today is author Jason Turbow. He is the author of the new book They Bled Blue: Fernandomania, Strike-Season Mayhem, and the Weirdest Championship Baseball Had Ever Seen: The 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers. In the Halberstam tradition of capturing a season through its unforgettable figures, They Bled Blue is a sprawling, mad tale of excess and exuberance, the likes of which could only have occurred in that place, at that time. That it culminated in an unlikely World Series win—during a campaign split by the longest player strike in baseball history—is not even the most interesting thing about this team.
