Bill Dwyer, The New York Americans (with Chris Distefano and John Joe McGinley)

Update: 2024-01-01

Description

This week, we're taking a time machine back to prohibition-era New York City to discuss the life of sports team owner (and Irish Mobster) Bill Dwyer. Dwyer owned a number of different teams, and when he wasn't in jail, he somtimes was actually a good owner. Comedian and history fan Chris Distefano joins the show with Irish historian and author John Joe McGinley to break down Dwyer's legacy.
