I sat down with 3x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion, and 1st AL-Cy Young winning relief pitcher at TD Bank Ballpark, home of the Somerset Patriots. We talked about:
- Coming up through the Red Sox organization
- Baseball legend Ted Williams as a catalyst for learning his most prominent pitch: the slider.
- Entrance songs (Pomp & Circumstance... really?)
- Reflecting on the dominance of Mariano Rivera
- The best pranks he pulled in the clubhouse, and the best prank pulled AGAINST him.
- The legacy of Thurman Munson, his catcher
- Managing the Somerset Patriots,
- How the game of baseball has evolved with respect to the role of the closer.
- Ends with karaoke-style, complete the lyrics of The Eagles
