The Dan Le Batard Show

Eric Hosmer burst into Major League Baseball straight out of high school, won four Gold Gloves and a World Series championship with the Kansas City Royals… and even though he’s not playing anymore, “The Wizard of Hoz” is not done making waves. 

Dan and Eric bond over their shared Latino upbringing in Miami and why the once-in-a-lifetime feeling of hitting a home run at Yankee Stadium would’ve never been possible without his family’s support and sacrifice. Eric also gets real about his challenging time with the San Diego Padres, the struggle of aging out of playing professionally and how the birth of his son was the life-changing impetus to move forward and start his own company, MoonBall Media, which is changing the way players and fans talk about baseball.
