We all know baseball from the first pitch to the last out. However, what is the baseball life like the other 20 hours a day? This week’s guest, Ericka Ransom (an accomplished athlete herself and Cody’s wife), breaks down the highs and lows of a baseball family. Ericka has been by Cody’s side through it all, and together they have forged an inspiring partnership as they continue to raise kids and give back to baseball. Life is a team effort, so give this episode a listen as your #playingthegame.
