Geoff Blum's 14th inning home run of Game 3 of the 2005 World Series will forever be part of his legacy from his 14-year career, and in this conversation with Scott Linebrink he talks about how the trade that sent him to the Chicago White Sox that season shaped him as a player and as a man.
The White Sox, thanks in part to Blum, went on to win the World Series that year, but he talks with Scott about how hard it was to leave the brotherhood of a San Diego Padres team, where he was teammates with Scott. The two talk about that, their faith, dealing failure and disappointment, parenting and much more in this conversation.
Now retired, Blum serves as the color analyst on television for the Houston Astros, who he played for from 2002-2003 then again from 2008-2010.
