On this week's episode of SABRcast Rob Neyer is joined by former MLB star Willie Horton. Rob talks to the long time Detroit Tiger about his new book, "Detroit's Own Willie the Wonder, the Tigers' First Black Great." The pair discuss some of the highlights from the book including who Horton credits with teaching him how to be a big leaguer and his views on playing the game he tries to pass down to the younger generation. Later Rob is joined by SABR CEO Scott Bush and they break out the brooms for their weekly discussion of winners of the weekend.
