Former St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguer Jake Gronsky comes on the podcast to share how baseball being a game of delayed gratification prepared him for playing the long game as a writer. Here are a few of the highlights...Jake talks about how a broken bone by a hit by pitch in the minors led to building a relationship that would come full circle after the game, how publishing A Short Season opened the door to partner with David Eckstein to be currently writing his memoir and why Jake believes passion isn't something anyone should blindly follow.
