Baseball's Haunted History, with Special Guest, Author Dan Gordon (43:12)

We will be discussing Author Dan Gordon's Books Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories or my current book Haunted Baseball: Ghosts, Curses, Legends & Eerie Events.

Cape Encounters is a compendium of firsthand ghost stories shared by residents of Cape Codders. Hundreds of locals subtle and not-so-subtle stories of ghosts kissing sleeping women, flipping theater seats, folding laundry and joining musicians on-stage. We were surprised by the number of grounded, thoughtful, credible individuals we met who shared these stories, which also shed light on the tradition, natural beauty and maritime lore of the Cape.

For Haunted Baseball, my co-author Mickey Bradley and I interviewed over 800 major leaguers and covered Fenway Park, where the night crew hear the late night crack of the bat and phantom cheers when working alone in the ballpark; Yankee Stadium, where Derek Jeter, Chipper Jones, A-Rod, Jason Giambi and hundreds of major leaguers told us the home team gets a little help from the ghosts of past legends; Wrigley Field, the ghost of Charlie Grimm's stomping grounds; Dodger Stadium, including accounts from late night security on a ghost in high heels who walks the top deck; Petco Park, which keeps the overnight cleaning crew on edge; and Rogers Centre, where Miguel Batista had a flute swatted from his hands. There are Babe Ruth sightings on a storied ballfield in St Pete. CC Sabathia tells why he fled from an elevator in San Fran. Coco Crisp and Ellis Burks also chime in. Todd Jones told us that "the walls breathe in and out" at the Vinoy Hotel in St. Pete. .And Johnny Damon tells of being pinned down by a ghost.

Feature stories on Haunted Baseball have run in the New York Post, Boston Globe ("Shelf Life"column), Boston Herald, Atlanta Constitution Journal, Rocky Mountain News, Providence Journal, Akron Beacon, Albany Times Union, Tampa Bay Tribune, St. Petersburg Times, and many more dailies. MLB.com ran a feature last fall. Mickey and I have also appeared on WDAE TV Pittsburgh, WJW Fox News Cleveland, WPIX Morning Show, and Catch-47 Tampa and hundreds of radio stations across the country.
