On Thursdays “Sports & Torts” with co-hosts Elliott Harris and me at noon Chicago time on talkzone.com are basketball great Ann Meyers Drysdale and former big-league catcher and manager Del Crandall. Ann is an executive with the WNBA Phoenix Mercury and the NBA Phoenix Suns. She also once tried out with the Indiana Pacers — she was that good. Ann also recently collaborated on her memoir You Let Some GIRL Beat You. With Ann in London as part of NBC’s Olympic Games coverage, the creative forces at “Sports & Torts” (yes, the show has creative forces) taped an interview with her when she recently was in Chicago for a Mercury game against the Chicago Sky. She was a gracious guest and has an intersting story to tell. And Crandall is no slouch either. He was with the Braves when they were in Milwaukee and had teammates such as Henry Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette, to name a few. If the show’s broadcast time is inconvenient for you, the program should be available later on podcast.

You just keep on keeping on man.
