What up podcasters! I hope you are enjoying the ride. This episode is our favorite thus far!! The reason being, we had our first ever interview and it was with our great friend, Shane McCarthy. We've known Shane since he was 10 years old growing up in Little Silver, NJ. Rick umpired a lot of Shane's baseball games as a kid. Shane attended Rumson Fair Haven H.S. and was a star pitcher there. After overcoming elbow surgery his Junior year, he earned an academic/athletic scholarship to Seton Hall University. His highlight of college was pitching a PERFECT GAME against LIU his sophomore year. There have only been 23 Perfect Games pitched in MLB and 30 in Division 1 baseball history. To give you an idea of how big of a deal this is - there have been 218,000 games played in MLB over the past 150 years and maybe the same in college baseball. If you take 53 and divide it by let's call it 400,000 games that means Shane McCarthy has accomplished something that only 0.00012679% of people have ever done. He's in an elite class of pitchers and this career is just getting started. Enjoy the pod and Shane's underdog story - we sure did!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thebrothersbrandt/support
