PASSED BALL SHOW #127 4/9/2014 Part 2 WITH JOSE CARDENAL AND STEVE KORCHECK; I start out by playing my interview with former Cubs, Giants and Phillies OF Jose Cardenal. Jose talks about being signed by the San Francisco Giants and who he looked up to (listen closely to who he leaves out). He also coached for several seasons in the big leagues which includes three World Series Championships for the Yankees in 1996, 1998-1999. I talk about the life threatening head injury Mickey Cochrane suffered after being hit by a pitch as well as how a similar pitch changed the MLB career of SS Dickie Thon. I then play by interview with former Washington Senators C Steve Korcheck. He makes references to Senators greats Mickey Vernon and Bucky Harris. I finish off by talking about another anniversary we should be celebrating on April 15th every season as it was the first time a Puerto Rican player played in the big leagues (Hiram Bithorn). I also talk about Luis Olmo playing in the 1949 World Series over 7 years after Bithorn made his MLB debut on 4/15/1942
