For one local writer, the reasons for loving baseball are many

The cover of "I Love Baseball" by Wayne Stewart.

One of Stewart's many books on baseball.

To celebrate the opening of the baseball season, Ideastream Coordinating Producer sat down with Wayne Stewart to talk about the sport.

Stewart is a retired teacher who has written dozens on books about sports. His latest release "I Love Baseball" seems to be an appropriate title for the man who began writing about the sport back in 1978.

Their conversation touched on some of Stewart's experiences covering the sport as a writer, what got him interested in the game as a young man, and how he never tires of all the unique happenings that can occur during a baseball game.

Guests:
- Wayne Stewart, Author, "I Love Baseball" and "Talking Baseball With Major League Stars"
- Drew Maziasz, Coordinating Producer, Ideastream Public Media

Drew Maziasz is a coordinating producer for the "Sound of Ideas" and also serves as the show’s technical producer.
