Perry Wallace Visits Hermitage Lanes

December 5, 2014

1025bowlingNever thought I’d be taking Perry Wallace to a bowling alley in Hermitage, but that’s just what happened on Wednesday when we visited the 102.5 Sports Night crew out there for an interview. The station was doing a remote at the lanes to promote a Nashville Predators event there later that evening. Wallace and I sat down with George Plaster, Willy Daunic, and Darren McFarland for a memorable interview you can listen to here.

  • “In a magnificently reported, nuanced
    but raw account of basketball and racism in the South during the 1960s, Andrew Maraniss tells the story of Perry Wallace’s struggle, loneliness, perseverance and eventual self-realization. A rare story about physical and intellectual courage that is both shocking and triumphant. ”

    Bob Woodward, Washington Post associate editor and author
