CALLING ALL SPORTS FANS! We are thrilled to virtually host author, journalist and TV commentator Michael MacCambridge. He'll talk about his new book, The Big Time: How the 1970s Transformed Sports in America, on Wednesday, October 18 at 6pm PST. Brodie Brazil -- Host of A's and Sharks Pregame and Postgame Live, NBC Sports California.

It's a captivating chronicle of the pivotal decade in American sports, when the games invaded prime time, and sports moved from the margins to the mainstream of American culture. Every decade brings change, but as Michael MacCambridge chronicles in THE BIG TIME, no decade in American sports history featured such convulsive cultural shifts as the 1970s. In tracing the epic narrative of how American sports was transformed in the 70s, a larger story emerges: of how America itself changed, and how spectator sports moved decisively on a trajectory toward what it has become today, the last truly "big tent" in American culture.
