Life in minor league baseball is largely beyond the player’s control. This is definitely true in the case of Ryan Shealy. A prolific power hitter in the Colorado Rockies organization, Ryan hit 180 career home runs in professional baseball but found himself stuck in the minor leagues behind Todd Helton. Without a doubt, Ryan was one of the most feared hitters in the minor leagues throughout the first decade of the 21st century. In this episode Keith and Ryan discuss the alternate universe if he is drafted by another team, how baseball helped him in his current profession, and the versatility of a credit card as a college student. I hope you enjoy this episode. We are so appreciative of the constant feedback and love connecting with our fans. Thanks so much for listening.
