On this episode of the American Valor Podcast, we were joined by Luke Epplin, the author of Our Team: The Epic Story of Four Men and the World Series That Changed Baseball. Born and raised in rural Illinois, Luke took a liking to writing in high school. Upon graduation from Washington University in St. Louis, Luke moved to New York City to work in book publishing. On the side, Luke has written articles for magazines and newspapers such as the New Yorker and the Daily Beast. In this episode, Luke discusses his inspiration for writing Our Team and how each of the four main characters in his book (Bob Feller, Satchel Paige, Larry Doby, and Bill Veeck) played a key part in forever changing the landscape of America’s national pastime.
