277 - Buried by History: the 1941 Philadelphia Phillies w/ Justin Klugh

Justin Klugh is author of the new book, "Summer of the Cheap Wieners: What the 1941 Phillies Were Up To While Joe DiMaggio Was Making History," (Brookline Books, 2026). 

There are not too many books about teams that lose 111 out of 154 games, but here's one and it's a good one. Justin joins us this episode to discuss how the second division looks.
