Breaking Barriers in Baseball: Author Melissa Ludtke in Conversation with Yankees Radio Broadcaster Suzyn Waldman

Veteran Yankees radio broadcaster Suzyn Waldman will join Melissa Ludtke, author of Locker Room Talk: A Woman's Struggle to Get Inside, in conversation about the inroads women are making into baseball – along with the challenges they confront.  

They'll explore Ludtke v. Kuhn, the well-known case in which Melissa fought Major League Baseball in federal court to gain equal access for women sportswriters to interview ballplayers in the same place and time that their male peers did. Judge Constance Baker Motley's order in Melissa's case opened locker room doors to all reporters, and in the decades since more women found jobs in sports media. Today, women work in broadcast booths of men's and women's college and professional teams. This will be Suzyn's 39th season covering the Yankees, including 21 seasons on radio.
