In this episode, Slade Heathcott, former outfielder for the New York Yankees and current Co-Founder & Director of More Than Baseball, shares his story of overcoming childhood trauma and being living out of his truck in high school to later becoming the New York Yankees' 1st Round Pick in the 2009 MLB Draft. Likewise, Slade also chats about the challenges of the minor league baseball lifestyle, what it was like to play alongside Yankee Hall of Famers, Derek Jeter & Mariano Rivera, and a rather comical account of one of the larger bench-clearing brawls in minor league baseball, which kicks off the top of the episode.
