One of the highlights of baseball's first half was the Red Sox-Yankees two-game series played in London, England.

We're seeing a ton of home runs and strike outs in Major League Baseball this year. And seeing a number of teams building big leads in their divisions. As baseball returns from the All-Star break, Vermont Edition returns for its annual mid-season discussion of baseball.

Red Sox fans have no concerns about their outfield but are fretting over their relief pitching staff.

Our panel of baseball followers includes:

  • Burlington City Council President Kurt Wright (a Yankees fan)
  • VPR's Amy Noyes (a Red Sox fan)
  • VPR's Mitch Wertlieb (do we even have to tell you?)

And we'll also talk to CBC reporter Kamila Hinkson, who will update us on Major League Baseball's proposal to have the Tampa Bay Rays play half of their home games in Montreal starting in 2024.

Broadcast live on Friday, July 12, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
