It's with a heavy heart that I present my conversation with Brooks Robinson. When I heard of his passing, my mind went immediately to my very first baseball memory: the 1969 World Series and as a now bonafide 6 year old fan, I had a chance to start to appreciate great players.

The 1970 World Series...THE BROOKS ROBINSON WORLD SERIES...was an incredible jump off point for a lifelong love of The Game outside of my NY Bubble.

Episode 2 is a sit down I did with Hall of Famer and Yankee Legend Phil Rizzuto back in 2001.

Easily one of the most beloved Yankees of All-Time..a playing career that started in the 1930's..and a broadcast career that lasted until 1996.

That would mean in his 7 DECADES of Yankeedom he saw firsthand more Yankee history than anyone else.

He will tell some of those stories..and you will hear the names Ruth/Gehrig/Joe D/Mickey/Whitey/Billy/Roger/Reggie and more.

Easily on of my TOP 5 All-Time Guests.
