Diamond Conversations

This week's Diamond Conversations features a fan favorite of the 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, Tony Womack. 20 years after the miraculous championship in the desert, Womack relives the great collection of talent that the D-backs assembled and how the success of that team was built with a solid group of veteran players. Womack also touches on the 2005 New York Yankees and how the start of the 2021 Yankees season was compared to his Yankee tenure when he was very publicly moved to another position to make room for then rookie, Robinson Cano. Plus, find out what Tony is doing these days and how he is getting the next generation of ball-players ready to play.

Today’s all new Diamond Conversations features former Texas Rangers and Oakland A’s pitcher, Bobby Witt. Witt’s son Bobby Witt Jr. was drafted by the KC Royals in 2019 and shares his thoughts on the 2021 MiLB season starting this week as well as relives the 2001 Arizona Diamondback World Series Championship and learning alongside Nolan Ryan during his years playing for the Rangers.

Today we welcome the first ever 1969 World Series "Miracle Mets" Champion to appear on Diamond Conversations as Art Shamsky sits down to discuss the impact of that 1969 team. In addition to some great insight into the '69 Mets, Art talks about the way the Mets of the late 1960s captured the hearts of New Yorkers and how that magical 1969-1970 sports season was possibly the greatest ever in NYC.

This week’s Diamond Conversation is an uncut

This week's Diamond Conversations welcomes the Head Coach of the Princeton Tigers, Scott Bradley. Scott's MLB career saw him arrive in New York playing for the Yankees in 1985 after a stellar 1984 AAA campaign where he led the International League in batting with a .335 average. Throughout his career, Scott was known as a super-utility player and used at multiple positions during each season. In 1990, Scott caught MLB Hall of Famer, Randy Johnson's first career no-hitter. Following his retirement, Scott has been the Head Coach at Princeton University since 1998 where he continues to see the Ivy League's best work on and off the field. In this interview, Bradley shares his thoughts on the cancelled IVY League baseball season and reflects on his past MLB Opening Day memories.
