Episode Notes
Mike Toomey has spent years in baseball — as a player, manager, coach, and scout — making it his life’s work. He’s been friends with Tim Kurkjian for so long that Jeff (now 32) can’t remember life without Mike Toomey in it.
Some of the best stories come from life on the back roads as a scout. Traveling to see players in their hometowns, as you might imagine, leads to some unforgettable moments. Then there are the stories from managing in Washington, D.C. — including the time a horse somehow ended up on the field, along with plenty of confused tourists. These are the kinds of stories you simply can’t make up.
