Politics and Baseball

Politics and Baseball

For the last century, the city of Albany, New York, has been ruled by Democrats—a powerful political machine that came to power in 1921, and at times determined the fate of politics well beyond its borders. It is older and longer than many famous Democratic dynasties in bigger cities like Chicago and Boston. In 2021 however, Albany is a very different city than it was in the 20th century. On this episode of The Eagle, Times Union Editor Casey Seiler sits down with columnist and historian Paul Grondahl for a look back at 100 years of Albany politics. Also on this episode, sports writer Joyce Bassett talks about the history of the Negro Leagues in the Capital Region, and how players who came through the area in the early 20th century may get much overdue recognition as Major League Baseball finally recognizes Negro League stats.
