A Conversation With Patrick Hogan

About this episode

Timothy Mahar converses with Patrick Hogan about local politics, baseball history, and Irish culture.

In this episode I have a conversation with my dear friend Patrick Hogan, former local political figure, baseball fan/historian, who's Irish ancestry flows through his veins. We discussed the critical importance of local politics, (Tip O'Neal, "All politics are local."), baseball history and players from the past, and our Irish culture. A wonderful conversation, with a great friend! timothymahar.org
