In this episode, Suzy is joined by the current color commentator for the #HoustonAstros - Geoff Blum.
#Blummer & I talk about his 14 year playing career - including a pretty memorable #homerun that helped secure the #WhiteSox a #WorldSeries win in 2005.
We then chat about transitioning from player into his #broadcasting career including a FOUR HOUR interview with current owner of the #Astros - #JimCrane to secure the job!
