>> seth: so, obviously from the clip, not a great time for margaery and the gentleman. she is having a tough time. >> yeah. >> seth: locking down her king at this point. >> poor marge. >> seth: yeah, she is the carrie bradshaw of westeros. >> things happen in threes in life, right? so it is very disconcerting. >> seth: have you read the books? >> uh-unh. >> seth: that's fine. >> i hear you're a bit of a connoisseur. >> seth: i've read the books, yes. >> so tell me about margaery. tell me about -- >> seth: i will say, the books have a lot of character that's have point of view -- you know, it's told from their point of view. margaery isn't one of those characters, so you know less about her. so it's been really fun -- i think the show has made margaery much bigger. >> do you approve? >> seth: i do approve. yeah. wait, are people not getting my complaint e-mails? [ laughter ] i'm writing to the gameoftthrones.com. >> and nobody has responded? >> seth: nobody's responded. >> oh dear. >> seth but i think you're great on it. >> thank you. i mean, david and dan were quite honest with me. they were kind of the creators of the show. they were kind of like "we weren't quite sure what to do with margaery."

because she is a bit like that in the book. it is very bold and testament to the show the way they, you know -- they take certain characters and they flesh them out. to hopefully heighten the story line. >> seth: yeah. it's great. i think you're doing a great job, such a great character. you're being -- way more layers to it. and now you're going from one super fan -- >> franchise. >> seth: franchise. to another which is "the hunger games." and how is that? that's why your head is shaved. we buried the lead. >> do you want to touch it? >> seth: yes, i do, actually. i guess we probably should have opened for this. 'cause everybody is like, "now what is going on with her hair?" [ laughter ] >> ladies, this is making a comeback. get down to your hair dressers now. >> seth: did you like -- did you run your marathon like that? >> it was so much easier for the training. because really sweaty, you know. >> seth: yeah. >> so much easier just to wash the hair. half the time. [ laughter ] >> yeah. i'm probably lighter as well. >> seth: i'm assuming one kind of turn was a lot easier and the other -- a huge drag. >> no, but you know, it was good

because with "hunger games", there is so much running around. it's such a physical shoot. so, and i'm carrying a gun and i'm in big heavy army boots. about as far from margaery as you can get. >> seth: right, no corset. >> which is great. no corset. so, because it was quite physical in "hunger games," it's good. formal training and the training for the marathon helped with keeping up with the likes of liam hemsworth. you know, big guys holding the gun with their little finger. i'm like -- [ hyperventilating ] i got fit. >> seth: that's great. and i want to make sure you know this. i have not read those books. >> oh good, i'm ahead of you. >> seth: you know a little bit more and i know a little bit more. and hopefully afterwards we can tell each other what happens to all the characters. >> okay. we can have a meeting. >> seth: absolutely. we can jog together. >> seth: we could, that'd be great. i mean, you know, you'll be a little ahead of me. you can yell back up. and then in the fourth book --

>> and then get attacked by fans, 'cause no one wants to know what happens. >> seth: that's true. people are -- we're very anti-spoiler culture, right now. like feel weird even talking about the purple wedding with you. 'cause i know people are gonna be like "hey, man, i'm trying to watch that." >> people got to catch up. >> seth: people gotta catch up. things are on a certain time and you have to watch them if you want to be part of a civil society. [ laughter ] >> wow! >> seth: natalie dormer, everybody. "game of thrones" airs sunday night at 9:00 on hbo. so watch it. we'll be right back with author jonah keri.

♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: welcome back to "late night," everybody. my next guest is a new york times best-selling author and sports writer for the website grantland. his new book "up, up and away" tells the story of the ill-fated montreal expos. please welcome jonah keri. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: thank you so much for being here. >> i'm glad to be here. >> seth: i love reading your writing about baseball and grantland, and i was so excited to see you wrote this book. and i loved it. i love reading about the montreal expos. but i have to ask, montreal is such a hockey town. you grew up in montreal. >> yes. >> seth: how did you choose baseball instead of hockey?

>> i mean, the canadiens have lots of fans. the expos had me and my five friends. so we had to make up the gap. we couldn't do anything about it. and you know it was just this kind of, this summer sport. it's a party city and people are outside in the summer. much of the stadium is inside. >> seth: yeah. >> but you know we did the best that we could. and you know they needed us. they really needed us. >> seth: that's great. i like that. did you ever even try to be a hockey fan? >> i did actually. we had a -- my family was just a normal middle class family but we were friends with the molsons. the molsons as in the beer barons and they owned the team and so forth. the first time i got tickets to habs a game where i could go by myself as opposed to with a family member. i was 13 or 14, get the ticket and i don't know where i'm sitting. molson's ticket, okay. so i walk down and i see the usher and the usher looks goes -- [ speaking french ] he's talking to me in french. he's trying to be very abrasive or whatever. and i say, "i got this, bitch." and he walked me down. [ laughter ] he takes me to the first row right behind the net. i'm like, yeah, yeah, now what's up, now what's going on? [ laughter ] >> seth: okay that is -- you know we've only been on the show for eight weeks. that's the most canadian story -- [ laughter ]

-- we've ever had on the show. that the molsons got you habs tickets. [ applause ] and there was a rude french usher, french canadian usher. so you were a stats nerd. and you sort of write about the analytics of baseball. did you know you were a stats nerd at an early age? >> my dad bought me a little professor calculator when i was 4 maybe and i read my first bill james book when i was, i would say 8. >> seth: yeah. >> so i think that would qualify as probably precocious and yes, i had that in me all along. >> seth: i was drawn to baseball i think at an early age because i liked the numbers as well and there's still like certain like -- i just know -- i know like numbers because of batting averages. and you, you were sort of drawn to this and yet, you know, this book, what i love reading about it, it's very emotional. it is not really about the analytics. and i remember as a kid being a red sox fan, dan shaughnessy wrote this book, "the curse of the bambino." and i used to read it and be like, "oh, we're cursed. it'll never happen." but we had the hope of the fact that our team would play the next year. the saddest thing about this book is there are no expos anymore. it must be so hard to have been -- like how do you maintain

your fandom for baseball with the fact that your team is just not a baseball team? >> you're trying to make me cry on television. [ laughter ] i don't want to do that. you know, it is just one of those things where you just try to push through it. actually the time that i nearly gave up on the sport was not when they left. it was 1994. best team in baseball, they had this strike. it wipes out the season. they had a chance to maybe go to the world series. i was dating this girl at the time. and for my 20th birthday, which was six days after the end of the season she buys me a felipe alou rookie card. felipe alou is the manager of the team. this is a vintage card from the '50s. she said you can't give up on baseball. you can't give up on your dream. it's something that you love. you love the expos. and i said all right. i'm going to stick it out. and so everything that's happened since, becoming a baseball writer, staying with the sport, all that stuff is because of that moment, in a sense, and that girl and i have now been married for 16 years. >> seth: that's great. [ cheers and applause ] a perfect story. i was in montreal. it's an incredibly colorful city and you do such a great job of bringing out the colorful characters that played for the expos over the year.

pedro martinez, vladimir guerrero, two that i would say you seem to have a special place in your heart for them. >> oh, absolutely. vladimir guerrero, i interviewed a bunch of people about vlad. he's this legend. he is like the bill brasky character in "snl." can you believe what vladimir guerrero did? i interviewed manny haska who worked with me on "baseball tonight" on espn and he said vladimir guerrero before every game would drink 10,000 cans of beer and eat a bag of rice. [ laughter ] and pedro martinez, a hero from the start. his first or second start with the expos, he gets traded to the dodgers. sorry, dodgers fans, about that trade. we kind of ripped you off. >> seth: that's right. >> anyway, so they get pedro martinez and he's pitching and he's throwing a perfect game through seven innings. oh this guy, who's this guy? this 145-pound jheri curl mullet pitcher. we love this guy. and this guy reggie sanders comes up from the cincinnati reds and pedro martinez throws 0-2 pitch. throws the pitch and hits reggie sanders. well it is not intentional. he's got a perfect game going. reggie sanders charges him out. i would just like to say to you

reggie sanders i am not happy with you. [ light laughter ] i do not like reggie. i still hold a grudge 20 years later for charging my boy pedro. not happy about that. >> seth: another great thing about this book is you know, obviously montreal, french speaking. when the team first comes to montreal, the french announcers, there is no word in french for home runs. >> yeah. >> seth: and actually, this is funny because my mother is a middle school french teacher and she used -- she had to do exactly what the sort of french do. you have to just make up words for like homeruns. and there are some pretty good ones. papillion? >> papillon. so knuckleball. the way that you hold a knuckleball is you basically hold it with your fingers and your knuckles kind of stick out. but the rotation of it is -- it flutters. so it is like a butterfly. it's very beautiful, very lyrical. so papillon means butterfly in french. >> seth: it's great. all of the words are so beautiful. my favorite is, is it picked off first? >> yeah. [ speaking french ] which literally means catching him on the wrong foot. it's very convoluting in some ways. i'm trying to remember my 11 years of educate bi-lingual -- tri-lingual education actually. i think i've got it down. >> seth: you talk -- can you

give us just a sense of what a home run call would sound like in french? just cause that to me, like hearing that is like -- 'cause again you listen to like obviously soccer is a sport you hear in all different languages. but other than, you know, baseball you think of spanish. you think of english, but you don't think of french. can you give us a french home run call? >> so there were would teams of announcers. typically you have one guy who does kind of an excited call but then the color man really kicks it up a notch. denis casavant and roger brulotte used to work together. so denis casavant may say something like -- [ speaking french ] then you hear roger brulotte, he just goes -- vladimir guerrero! [ laughter ] he's like freaking out. >> seth: that's great. thank you so much. [ applause ] and i would never forgive myself. i feel like we've given a platform hear to all the baseball writers of america, do you want to make a quick case for tim raines? >> tim raines needs to be in the hall of fame. now i'm angry. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, yeah, yeah. this is, reggie sanders forget about that. >> here we go. if you take 400 walks away from tim raines, no let's do this. you take 600 walks away from

tim raines, let's give him 400 bunt singles and 200 triple plays okay. he's clearly an inferior player but he has 3,000 hits at that point. every baseball writer would put him in the hall of fame even though he's an inferior writer -- inferior player at that point. i am saying to the baseball writers, what is wrong with you? walks are the same as singles. he's the highest percentage base stealer of all time. he's got 800 steals. everybody with 800 steals is in the hall of fame except tim raines. tim raines needs to be in the hall of fame. i will come to your house and hunt you down if you don't put him in the hall of fame. [ laughter ] >> seth: you were very convincing until the very end when you turned into a little bit of a sociopath.
