City Talk: John Sexton, president, NYU

New York University president, John Sexton joins host Doug Muzzio to talk baseball. With passion, the two remind each other of their experiences as Catholic school kids, in 1955, on THAT day, when the Brooklyn Dodgers actually beat the New York Yankees and finally won the World Series. President Sexton's book "Baseball as a Road to God: Seeing Beyond the Game" is about baseball and much more.
