Don't call him a celebrity, but we are joined by Chief Corporate Affairs Officer of the Obama Foundation, Michael Strautmanis to the show. This conversation of culture, baseball and Chicago history is ten years in the making, started with Strautmanis penning an essay about black baseball fandom in Chicago for &Scape in 2016. https://www.obama.org/

On this special episode of "In The Booth," we're speaking with Assistant Professor of Sport Studies at Manhattanville University, Dr. Seth Tannenbaum. His upcoming book, "Bleacher Seats and Luxury Suites: Democracy and Division at the Twenith-Century Ballpark" takes a look at the paradox of baseball being presented as both an egalitarian fan experience while also being designed to keep lower and middle class fans at the ballpark. Dr. Tannenbaum and Flobo Boyce discuss early origins and its ripples today.

Over the past few years, there's been a lot of talk about regenerative medicine and what that means for athletes. I sit down with Dr. Tommy Rhee, former medical staff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and owner of the the RheeGen system, to discuss innovate ways that regenerative medicine is being used in sport.
