From The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Astros to the mighty Texas Longhorns, Texas is a sports state through and through. Michael Granberry joined forces with Burk Murchison to write Hole in The Roof, the inside story of the iconic Texas Stadium where The Dallas Cowboys went on to win five super bowls. Jonathan Silverman’s Astros and Asterisks documents the Houston Astros’ sign stealing scandal, its implications regarding sports in the era of big data and video, and how the event sheds light on obsessions over analytics within the sports world. Join these three authors in an expansive conversation about the history of the country’s most famous teams, the business of professional sports, and how we can get back to the heart of the game in an era of corporate greed and digital distractions.
