Atlanta Braves Manager Brian Snitker took a unique path to his current role as one of the best in the business. With over 40 years with one organization, Brian was the ultimate Company Man. At a time when the trend is to hire people with no experience to be Major League Managers, Snit was, and is, an outlier. Now he's also a World Series Champion, NL Manager of the year, and 5-time division winner. Snit joins Billy to discuss a host of topics, including his unique baseball journey, his appreciation for how difficult it is to be a Big Leaguer and how that shapes his leadership style, and how he doubts he or his friend Bobby Cox would be able to get a manager's job in today's game. He also shares a boatload of stories involving Braves greats, from Hank Aaron to Bruce Sutter, Dale Murphy to Chipper Jones, Freddie Freeman to Ozzie Albies...and his cameo in Bull Durham.
