Matthew John Kata (born March 14, 1978) is an American former professional baseball infielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Houston Astros. Longest conversation I’ve had with a player or announcer. It was awesome hearing his stories of the Randy Johnson perfect to him helping Sammy Sosa swing. Please give this a listen. Also talked more about the state of baseball compared to when he started in 99
