In this very special episode, I sit down with Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and Yankees clubhouse reporter Meredith Marakovits — someone I’ve looked up to for years. We talk about her journey to the YES Network, what it’s really like covering one of the most iconic teams in sports, and the moments that have shaped her both personally and professionally.

Whether you're a Yankees fan, an aspiring sports journalist, or just love a good story, this one’s for you.
