Episode 22: Pioneers

Mike Krzyzewski of the Duke Blue Devils and USA Basketball is one of the most successful cross-over coaches in sports history. He’s also a lifelong baseball fan, and chats with Dan about his passion for the Cubs. Nikki Huffman is another pioneer. She’s the head athletic trainer for the Blue Jays – just the second woman to hold the post in MLB and the most prominent female in a baseball role in the team’s history. Nikki sits down with Dan to discuss her career. Finally, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. made it all the way from Cuba to Toronto via a Canadian connection. With the help of interpreter Josue Peley, Dan and Lourdes dissect that unique journey. Audio Credit: Duke University, ESPN, and Sportsnet.
