It's been over two decades since Bobby Valentine helped guide the 2000 New York Mets to the Subway World Series against the Yankees, but his managing stint in Flushing is just one of many hats Valentine has worn during his professional life. His latest endeavor is a run for mayor in his hometown of Stamford, Connecticut. For this episode of "Stories with Street CRed," Valentine joins me to discuss the challenges of running a campaign for public office, while also looking back on his past professional life, including his baseball managing career, which had major league stops with the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox in addition to the Mets, and managing in Japan. The always engaging, opinionated and witty Valentine is now hoping to bring everything full circle, and add "Mayor Valentine" to his resume.
