Episode Notes
We call him the greatest batting practice pitcher of all time—and honestly, we don't think there's much of a debate.
Tim and Jeff Kurkjian sit down with Rich Donnelly, a man with some of the greatest baseball stories you'll ever hear. From Barry Bonds to Ted Williams, every story is a treat for baseball fans of all ages.
With the All-Star Game right around the corner, it's the perfect time to celebrate Rich's incredible impact on the Home Run Derby. But his legacy goes far beyond batting practice. As one of the game's best third base coaches, his stories about giving signs, waving runners home, and the split-second decisions that define a game are unforgettable.
Nomar, Cano, and Tim Kurkjian's basketball ability somehow all become important topics of conversation, making this one of our favorite episodes yet.
