M.C.’s professional career started, or attempted to start when he sent message to Ted Turner that he would walk from Syracuse to Atlanta to get hired by the Braves. As the process took a bad turn, M.C. slipped a dime into a pay phone and was immediately connected with the only Major League Baseball owner who would appreciate his initiative, the iconoclastic and insightful genius Bill Veeck. From the White Sox to the fledgling cable industry, to sports behemoth ESPN, to his own weekly column and to writing a speech to nominate Barack Obama, Antil learned marketing and learned that he could write. “Floor Burns” is his perfectly crafted legacy of how race, religion, changing economics, a basketball game and a highway came together to change his hometown of Syracuse, New York in 1967.
