Michael Maggi


Michael is a lifelong New Jersey resident and third generation Yankees fan. His grandfather would tell him inspiring stories about his hero, Lou Gehrig, and likewise his father about the great Mickey Mantle. His interest in the Yankees grew into a passion for the Great American Pastime and its glorious history. Mike was co-host of SportsTalk 99.5 on WUSR Royal Radio 99.5 in Scranton, PA from 1998-2000. It was on this show that he had the privilege of interviewing well-known sports personalities such as Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, Kenny Albert, Bob Wischusen, and Babe Ruth’s self-appointed “mascot” Little Ray Kelly who admitted on the air that the Sultan of Swat did indeed call his shot in the 5th inning of Game 3 of the 1932 World Series. Mike also served as an intern at News Talk Radio 77-WABC in New York, where he hosted Yankees trivia events for on-air contest winners at Yankee Stadium when 770 was the flagship station of the New York Yankees. He is joining the New York Baseball Digest staff as their fan contributor, offering stories and opinions from the fan perspective.
