I will be speaking with Iliana Limon Romero, the Los Angeles Times’ assistant managing editor for sports, at the USC Annenberg Lunch with a Leader series. Mickey Morabito, who as director of press relations with the New York Yankees in 1977 played a key role in facilitating my access to the Yankees’ locker room, so I could interview the ballplayers. Morabito gave me full access to the Yankees just weeks before Major League Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn banned me from all MLB clubhouses at the 1977 World Series and led to our federal court fight, which I describe in my book, Locker Room Talk.
