Mike Trout has hit home runs in seven consecutive games, now just one short of the Major League record. Don Mattingly is one of three men who hold the record of eight consecutive games.

In this encore presentation of a 2017 “30 With Murti” podcast, Mattingly and others who were there reflect on what was the 30th anniversary of the streak, one of the most memorable feats in the Yankees captain’s career. 

The Captain, a seven-part film on the life and career of Derek Jeter, premieres Monday on ESPN.  On the latest 30 With Murti podcast, Sweeny chats with the film's director Randy Wilkins about making the film and telling Jeter's story.

Rickey Henderson, one of the most impactful baseball players ever, spent parts of five amazing but controversial seasons with the Yankees in the 1980's. We look back at Rickey's "Yankees Years" with Howard Bryant, best-selling and award-winning author of the new biography, "Rickey: The Life and Legend of An American Original," from Mariner Books.

Paul O'Neill is one of the most revered Yankees of the last 30 years, and he shares stories from his life in baseball in the new book "Swing And A Hit: Nine Innings of What Baseball Taught Me," co-written with Jack Curry and available everywhere May 24th from Grand Central Publishing.  

On the latest "30 With Murti," Sweeny talks with O'Neill about some of his favorite Yankees memories, his daily battle to convince himself he was a good hitter, and whether the 2022 Yankees remind him of the incredible 1998 team that won 114 games and a World Series Championship.  

Last week, MLB celebrated the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers - and on the latest "30 With Murti" podcast, Sweeny chats with Kostya Kennedy, the author of the new biography "True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson," about Robinson's career and legacy.

Abdi Abdirahman is the kind of person they make inspirational movies about. After escaping war-torn Somalia as a teenager, Abdi has gone on to become one of the most accomplished American distance runners this century, representing the USA in five different Olympic Games. Hear his story on the latest 30 With Murti podcast.

Before he embarked on a 14-year Major League Baseball career, Lee Mazzilli was a teenage speed skating champion with Olympic dreams - but the baseball path made him an All-Star in 1979 and a World Champion in 1986. 

Former Major Leaguer Chris Dickerson is making a difference after baseball. The ex-Yankees outfielder leads "Players For The Planet" to promote conservation efforts and "More Than Baseball" to help struggling minor leaguers. He discusses those organizations, plus his history with MLB Players' Union in the last two CBA negotiations, on the latest 30 With Murti.

Former Mets and Phillies first baseman Rico Brogna was a union player representative during the last work stoppage in baseball - the disastrous players' strike of 1994-95.  These days he's a minor league manager with his eyes on a big league job in the near future.

Brogna joins Sweeny Murti on the latest 30 With Murti podcast for his thoughts on the labor wars, pitch clocks, Hall of Fame teammates, and more.
