PASSED BALL SHOW #111 12/17/2013 Part 1 WITH GREGG ZAUN AND JIM MECIR; I open up by discussing the Yankees recent signing of 2B Brian Roberts and exactly what type of player the team is getting. I talk about how some teams like Houston and the Chicago Cubs may become bigger spenders when some of their younger players start to develop. Then, I talk about why it makes sense for the Mets to keep Ike Davis right now. I then play my interview with longtime MLB catcher Gregg Zaun. Gregg talks about how the game changed before his eyes, why he stopped playing and what it was like having Rick Dempsey as an uncle. Gregg works for Sportsnet in Toronto covering the Blue Jays. I finish off my playing my interview with former Yankees, Devil Rays and Athletics RHP Jim Mecir. Jim mentions his foot condition that he had to overcome to be a major legue pitcher
