Yesterday I was in Fresno, CA for my book tour stop! Had a great time with Jose Gonzalez on The Jose Gonzalez Show ESPN Fresno. We talked about the decades, ESPN history and how technology has changed everything in sports and the rest of our lives. Looking forward to our next chat.

Who is your personal favorite Chicago White Sox third baseman? Robin Ventura is first to mind for me, but my favorite is Kevin Youkilis. Also liked John Cusack as Buck Weaver.

What a great celebration we had yesterday in Bristol! Wow - it is great to see the enthusiasm and smiles across the plaza. Thanks for including me, Josh Josh Krulewitz.

My book Sports Junkies Rejoice! The Birth of ESPN has all the details of that day 45 years ago when the first 24 hour channel launched on September 7, 1979 at 7 pm. amazon.com/Sports-Junkies…

45 years on the air and ESPN is still going strong! If you're curious, that’s 540 months, 16,437 days or 394,488 hours of sports programming. And that's only on one channel . . . amazon.com/Sports-Junkies…

Tremendous honor for Bill Rasmussen just before a date all the ESPN pioneers love, Sept. 7 (this year the 46th anniversary).  It has been a thrill for me this year working with the now Hall of Famer on a doc on the amazing story of the launch of ESPN.
