In this episode of AustinoSportsTalk, special guest Zack Bayrouty joins me to discuss his passion for sports while growing up on the east coast, how he broke into the sports industry while attending Northeastern University, his experience announcing games with the Stockton Ports for 13 years, being able to announce an Oakland A's game in 2019, and his recent work with Pacific Men's Basketball and the Reno Aces. Hear about how Zack grew up listening to games on the radio after bedtime, his obsession with the Red Sox growing up, how Zack was the first person Josh Donaldson met when traded to the A's organization, how he quickly became a fan of specific players and not just teams, and the fantastic advice Zack gives for people trying to break into the sports industry. Also, be prepared for some awesome MLB talk! We talk about some of the MLB rule changes such as managers being able to declare innings over in spring training, the universal DH, having a runner start on 2nd base in extra innings, and the expanded playoffs. He also gives his thoughts on how the Red Sox and A's will do this year, his insight on upcoming prospects around the league, and his World Series prediction. This is flat-out another can't miss episode!
