We are joined by Marc Carig, deputy managing editor for The Athletic, who has also covered Major League clubhouses as a beat reporter with the Orioles (2008), Yankees (2009-12, '18) and Mets (2012-17). Marc's work has appeared in Baseball Prospectus, the Newark Star-Ledger, Newsday, the Boston Globe and the Washington Post. Marc grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and is bringing us back to October 3, 1989 for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park -- the first MLB game that he ever attended. We'll discuss a 10-year-old's horror at sighting the urinal troughs at old Candlestick, his life rooting hard for the Oakland Athletics Bash Brothers of Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, the 1989 earthquake World Series, Marc's experiences covering Joe Girardi as a manager and much, much more!
