Join us on Bucco Bantr as we sit down with former Pittsburgh Pirate, 9-year MLB veteran, and fan-favorite John Jaso for one of our most insightful and inspiring conversations yet. In this exclusive interview, Jaso takes us through his unconventional road to the Major Leagues, opening up about the challenges he faced, the mindset that carried him through, and the moments that changed his career forever.

We dive deep into his MLB debut with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, what it was like to catch a perfect game, and the unique obstacles he had to overcome as a professional athlete. John also reflects on his unforgettable time with the Pittsburgh Pirates, sharing stories from the clubhouse, memorable games at PNC Park, and what it meant to wear the black and gold.

Now years removed from baseball, Jaso talks about his life after MLB, including his passion for travel and exploring the world. Whether you’re a Pirates fan, a lifelong baseball lover, or someone who enjoys authentic conversations about life, growth, and adventure, this episode delivers it all.
