On today's earlier than normal Jerks: The Knee Jerks go on a literary bent as we have our first author on the show! Our special guest is Marty Appel, author of a new Doubleday book about former Yankees catcher, 7 time All-Star and 1976 AL MVP Thurman Munson, "Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain."

After we discuss the life and times of one of the best catchers of his era, we'll give our thoughts on the past week of the Detroit Tigers as they head into the final weeks of the pennant race. We'll also cover the latest news from Detroit Lions' Allen Park HQ, including rants regarding their 3rd exhibition game against the Colts.
