Episode notes

Great family, mostly average athletes. Honorable Mention is the funny and heartwarming sports family memoir from Phil Lang, the youngest of six.

For most of his life, Phil was certain his was an untouchable family. A big, Catholic, American sports family, and that their good fortune was inertia. Now, as each of the kids builds lives of their own, he can't help but wonder if they've begun the unknowing of each other. How do you keep the family together? The question keeps pushing Phil to memories formed around sports. Sports stories, family stories—they’re the same thing to him.
