After a career that included five years with the Cardinals, a 2006 World Series championship, and stints as both a starter and reliever, Brad Thompson dropped his sinker and picked up a microphone. It also made him available for the Best Podcast in Baseball. From a perch atop PNC Park, Thompson joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer to talk about his career, the pitch that made him, the pitch that escaped him, and his role as a ubiquitous broadcaster in St. Louis. Thompson is part of The Fast Lane at 101.1 FM/WXOS, is featured on the Cardinals broadcasts for Fox Sports Midwest, and is the co-host with FredBird of the Cardinals' Kids TV program. He talks about his move from the field to the broadcast booth, and in the broadcast booth tells some tall tales and explores what the Cardinals should do at the trade deadline. The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you by Closets by Design! of St. Louis, is a production of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
