In this episode of Dave’s Dugout, host Dave Garcia shares a powerful story called “The Next Play.” Growing up in the world of professional baseball, Dave learned from his father—Major League coach Dave Garcia—that the game’s greatest lessons aren’t just about hits and runs, but about resilience, focus, and moving forward after mistakes.
Through a memorable moment from his own playing days—turning an unassisted triple play right after a costly error—Dave reflects on how his dad’s timeless advice, “Don’t let one mistake lead to another. Make the next play,” applies to baseball and to life.
Step into the dugout with Dave for an inspiring reminder that sometimes the best comeback starts with simply wanting the ball again.
