Baseball As A Road To God: The Spring Training Episode

With Spring Training in full swing, Schulder goes to the top — to the President of New York University, John Sexton. Sexton is the author of “Baseball As A Road To God,” based on his popular class of the same name. Baseball watched properly, he insists, can help develop skills that enable us to reach a higher spiritual plane. The sport has its saints and sinners. We name names, and debate who deserves to be on the dream lineup. Joining the conversation is fellow believer, former Harvard Law Professor Arthur Miller, now Director of NYU’s Tisch Sports Institute. They have provocative advice for baseball’s new commissioner. These men are two of the nation’s leading educators. So we’ll also get their take on today’s students.
