David Eckstein: What "Just Enough" Means From A 2x World Series Champion
Two-time World Series champion, 2006 World Series MVP, Mr. Ashley Eckstein, and the guy every scout said was too small to make it—David Eckstein joins the neighborhood and goes way beyond baseball.. David opens up about the gameday routines that kept him grounded (pancakes, People's Court, teriyaki chicken, four swigs of Coke—in that order), the underdog mentality that took him from doubted walk-on to October hero, and the family kidney-disease crisis that changed his entire perspective on what matters. He talks about loving the hecklers, walking away on his own terms after three errors in Kansas City, and the line that lands hardest: wherever you're at, that's your big leagues. Ashley calls him the ultimate HypeFriend—and by the end, you'll understand why. Plus: Ashley Bakes peanut-butter pudding for the man who hates trying new recipes, and both Ecksteins have books dropping (his memoir Just Enough and her novel Lucky 22).
