Following nearly 25 years as a prominent voice on NPR, after being shelled, rocketed, bombed and held captive in the desert as one of our top foreign correspondents, Neal Conan decided to take time off to pursue a lifelong dream -- to become, of all things, a baseball announcer. Play By Play is his diary of the 2000 season as the announcer for the Aberdeen Arsenal, a franchise of the independent Atlantic League. Through the lens of the minor leagues, Conan captures the soul of a great sport and reveals the ways men face age, come to terms with their limitations and ambitions and look for new challenges when they're no longer young phenoms.
