When the Game Changed: An Oral History Of Baseball's True Golden Age: 1969-1979 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780762772438)

George Castle has covered Major League Baseball and the Chicago Cubs since 1980 for a variety of newspapers and magazines, and for the Times of Northwest Indiana, the Chicago area's fourth-largest daily newspaper. An author of nine books, he hosts and produces a weekly syndicated baseball show, Diamond Gems, which is broadcast on 35 affiliates and a national sports radio Internet network. Castle has become a multimedia purveyor of baseball inside information and analysis, using a network of close clubhouse and front-office relationships to continually produce scoops and informative pieces that outflank other media. He has gotten to know--and gain the trust--of almost all of the important figures in Chicago and genearl baseball history. Castle has also appeared on a wide variety of network radio--including ESPN, Sporting News, and Sirius--and local sports-talk radio programs. He was tapped by producers as one of the historical experts on the Cubs for Wait Til' Next Year: The Saga of the Chicago Cubs, the HBO 2006 special on the team. He lives in Chicago.
