A Major League Baseball All Star for the Milwaukee Brewers, this week's guest LARY SORENSEN is one of those guys whose life is made up of amazing stories. His self deprecating humor is charming and he never acts like a guy who made the climb to being a Major League All Star. Talk about ups and downs in life, Lary has experiences them all and is more than happy to open the book that is his life on this week's episode of The Approach Shot.
“The future is now” is an old football saying attributed to former Redskins coach a George Allen. We get a view of the future in this episode of The Approach Shot when we talk to one of the hottest play-by-play men in all of sports, CONNOR ONION. Connor has already worked with Bill Raftery, Matt Mullen, Ken Rosenthal and others. His humor and humility are on full display as we talk baseball, football and his golf game. This guy is going to be the next Joe Buck or Jim Nantz!
Batters did not want to see him on the mound. Fans loved his heat! One of the very first to throw 100 mph, he had tremendous success in the majors, when healthy. He is one of only SEVEN pitchers in Major League Baseball HISTORY to ever have back-to-back 45 save seasons (not even the great Mariano Rivera did that).
Cleveland is the home to some great comedies and Bil Benden is one of the absolute best! From his Comedy Central specials to live shows at comedy clubs, corporate gigs and country clubs, when Bil tells a story, you can't help but crack up. Now imagine 50+ minutes of that in one episode of The Approach Shot. If you enjoy good comedy, and good storytelling, this is the episode for you!
Warning: This episode contains great stories, amazing humor, and a keen insight to what goes on in the life of an NFL kicker.
He's a 4x Pro Bowl kicker, he won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys and was named to the Second team ALL DECADE team in the 80's. EDDIE MURRAY is humble, funny and can weave a tale!
Once you start listening to this episode, you won't be able to stop!
This is Part Two of our conversation with longtime columnist and author JOHN EISENBERG. We talk about his golf game, and he faces (and aces) the dreaded SIX PACK!
As a kid, I dreamt of going to the biggest sporting events; Super Bowls and World Series games, NBA Finals and the Masters. It all seemed to glamorous and historic. We talk with long time BALTIMORE SUN columnist JOHN EISENBERG about how lucky he was to have covered them all. But he also points out that for columnists, who have to write SOMETHING every day, it's a job, and not an easy one.
After almost 30 years with the Sun, John evolved into an amazing author of books like "Rocket Men", "The League" and others. We'll talk about that in Part 2 of our conversation, which comes out later this week.
In Part One with Derek Kennard, we talked about Super Bowls, his playing with a severely separated shoulder during the Cowboys Super Bowl win and how he had to be tough to deal with the emotions of winning and losing.
Part One of our conversation with DEREK KENNARD includes the emotions he went through as a first year Dallas Cowboys and the expectations that ended abruptly in the NFC Championship games against the 49ers, and then the redemption he felt when the Cowboys went back to the Super Bowl and won. He also talks about playing in the Super Bowl with a severely separated shoulder. This is one tough hombre!
Part Two with MLB reliever Mike Adams. Mike's face (and voice) lights up when talking about his grandma's homemade tortillas and even when she ages and is barely able to make them, she somehow manages to. Grandma even sends her tortillas as a care package when Mike is on the road, which he shares with his teammates.
