Description
Former MLB starting pitcher Glendon Rusch joins Ryan Dempster for a baseball storytelling session for the ages. Rusch, who is currently playing for a local men's league in Louisville, looks back at his 12-year professional career with the Royals, Mets, Brewers, Cubs, Padres and Rockies. A few highlights include the time Rusch did the unthinkable as a pinch hitter, an explanation of how Mike Piazza was his sound guy, the time Pearl Jam stayed on stage as he and Kerry Wood were on their way to the concert from Wrigley Field. Rusch also shares an awesome tale from the back of the Mets bus with Pat Mahomes and Rickey Henderson. Plus, Dempster and Rusch share a deep appreciation for Dusty Baker and why they both still may have nightmares due to the intense fans in right field at the old Yankee Stadium.
