Now in his fourth decade as a New York sportswriter, Peter Botte combines his love of baseball and pop culture in the pages of the New York Post. Now he has written an entertaining history of the Yankees whittled down to "The Big 50:  The Men And Moments That Made The New York Yankees." It's available now from Triumph Books.

In the latest "30 With Murti" podcast, Sweeny chats with Peter about the book, some reflections on the last Yankees dynasty, and more.  Botte also talks about his daily movie recommendations in The Post.  And finally, Sweeny and Peter share their thoughts on the loss of friend and colleague Anthony Causi, the Post sports photographer who passed away last weekend at 48.
