The Art and Rivalry of Hitting in Baseball

MLB legend Gary Sheffield pulls no punches in this particularly unfiltered All The Smoke interview. From the origins of his iconic batting stance to the truth about baseball’s steroid era, Sheff keeps it real on every topic. He opens up about training with Barry Bonds, the Jeter vs. A-Rod Yankees dynamic, and the challenges he faced as one of the most feared hitters in MLB history. Sheffield breaks down the art of hitting like only a 500 Home Run Club member can, while sharing his unfiltered take on how today’s game compares to the era of Tony Gwynn, Greg Maddux, and Pedro Martinez. It’s a masterclass in mentality and longevity from a generational voice who never backed down, whether he was at the plate or speaking his truth.
