On this edition of Schwartz on Sports, Ryan Doherty of the AVP Beach Volleyball circuit stops by.
As Peter Schwartz so eloquently points out, the great thing about New York City is its diversity. This applies not only on the streets of Manhattan, but when it comes to Big Apple sports too.
Enter AVP Beach Volleyball which is coming to the city this week.
The AVP Pro Tour will make its only East Coast stop at the unique setting of the Hudson River Piers.
