This was a fun one. First ball player on the show and he did not dissapoint. We discussed:
- Journey from Canada to the major leagues
- Salaries in the minors and how little they get - "helps separate the people that are after the money and people who want to play ball"
- Steroids in the 90's, that he was asked to do them lots (he never did) and that it was evident players were using them.
- Playing in Seattle with the likes of Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson & Alex Rodriguez
- To make it to the big league you have to be able to deal with failure and persevere.
