It's really hard to make it in professional baseball. It's also really hard to make it as a country songwriter in Nashville. But Bryan Ruby is chasing down both of those dreams head-on. This week, he joined J-Rob, his former Frankfurt Eagles teammate, to talk about his entire life in the game, as well as his strategies for tackling two full-time professions at once. Things we covered:
- How growing up in the northeast affects your baseball development
- Playing for two years at Emory--then transferring to Vassar!
- Finding a home at Vassar and realizing his full capacity for pursuing both interests
- Self-Trivia!!
- Deciding to play overseas for the first time (and his summer with J-Rob in Frankfurt!)
- Being on a baseball tour of South America at the onset of the pandemic
- Navigating the pandemic and playing winter ball in Guatemala
- Thoughts on this upcoming season in Salem, Oregon
- Fantasy Draft of Best Hair in MLB History!!
Make sure to stick around for the end to hear Bryan's LLTB, and leave us a rating if you enjoyed the conversation!
