Well it's official... Steve Sparks... is a friend of the Pod! What an incredible experience connecting with Steve. Growing up as kids, we used to play a baseball video game on XBOX called MVP Baseball and who was our knuckleball pitcher we used... Steve Sparks. Pretty epic to have him on the pod. In this episode you will hear probably the craziest story of how Steve took his path to the Majors. He was a field player in baseball throughout his entire high school career and his first year at junior college. It wasn't until he walked on at Sam Houston State where he made the decision to switch to pitching. He then became a 5th Round draft pick. And to top it off, he didn't learn to throw a knuckleball (his signature pitch) until he was in the pros. It's a pretty unbelievable story and must listen to interview to hear how his baseball career spanned 20+ years in the Majors and it all started with a split decision during a 60 yard dash at Sam Houston State. Enjoy this episode to learn more about Steve Sparks, his MLB career, his epic stories of players he faced, how he became a Jeopardy Question multiple times and his VERY successful Radio Broadcasting career with the Houston Astros. Get the popcorn ready and enjoy the show!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thebrothersbrandt/support
