It's our first episode of 2026, and WOW do we start off with a bang!

Friend of the show, MLB's Terry Shumpert tells us what it feels like to field the last out of a no-hitter, what it's like to play for Jim Leyland, and how an MLB utility player's role has changed since he played.

An All-American from the University of Kansas, Shump is a 14 year MLB veteran, spending most of his time with the Colorado Rockies and the Kansas City Royals.

His teammates, his talented family and his incredible wife make up the wonderful fabric of this amazing gentleman, and we have the pleasure of his company on this wildly entertaining episode of The Approach Shot.

We had so many people reach out about this episode with LINDA COHN, we are running it again!

Linda Cohn, the only sportscaster that anchored over 5,000 episodes of Sports Center. While the boys were coming up with catch phrases like "Back, back, back", "It's deep and I don't think it's playable" and "Booyah!", LINDA COHN was highlighting the games, the plays and made it about the games, not herself. That would explain why she authored the book "Cohn-Head: No Holds Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys Club."

A hockey fanatic from when she was a little girl, she broke barriers, broke records and then broke into the boy's club by being the first full-time U.S. female sports anchor on a national radio network when she was hired by ABC.

Delightful, real and incredibly interesting, this episode of The Approach Shot is a must listen!
