157. Eugene McMahon: From London to Milwaukee, Baseball as a Second Language, & Why Baseball and English Football Have More in Common Than You Think
Manage episode 425901809 series 2954657
Eugene McMahon is a Milwaukee Brewers fan from London, England. He found his love for baseball a little differently than many fans do, through a love of literature, thanks to a particularly captivating description of Bobby Thompson’s “Shot Heard Round the World” in a novel he was reading. As he continued to delve deeper into baseball journalism and non-fiction, he wanted to understand the game he enjoyed reading about so much.
We chat about how a 2018 baseball trip to the U.S. resulted in him claiming the Brewers as his team, what he finds so fascinating about baseball and US history, his chase to visit all 30 parks, and how baseball is basically a second language.
