Former Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman John Nogowski joins Nathan to relive his unforgettable run in the summer of 2021 — from the wild trade that sent him from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, to becoming an instant fan favorite as “Big Nogowski.”

Nogowski opens up about his path through indie ball and the minors, his mentality after being DFA’d, the famous Marcus Stroman confrontation, and why he’ll always have love for Pirates fans. He shares hilarious clubhouse stories (including David Bednar’s “69” pranks), what it was like to witness Jacob Stallings’ walk-off grand slam, and even teases a possible return to baseball or coaching in Pittsburgh.

Watch one of the most genuine, entertaining Pirates interviews you’ll see this offseason.
