'One Day in September' traces baseball's first All-Star Game

Season 2026 Episode 143 | 7m 02s

Baseball’s best will showcase their talents on the field in Philadelphia during MLB's All-Star Game. What fans might not know is that the game traces its origins back to an event in Boston more than a century ago. The little-known chapter in baseball history is the subject of a new book, “One Day in September.” Jeffrey Brown sat down with author Scott Reich for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
