Former Los Angeles Angels catcher Michael Barash is on the show this week to discuss his recent decision to hang up the cleats and turn his focus to something else. What is it you may ask? Give it a listen and hear for yourself. Not to mention I hit him with a few questions in the "Quick Hitters" segment and also make him think on his feet with a few fill in the blank statements.

Love baseball? Me too. I watch games, listen to the pundits, and argue about it with my friends and family. I’ve been going to the ballparks since I was born – literally – and started interviewing players back when I was a high school side-line “reporter”. I get the game, but what I’m really interested in is the human interest story - what the players are all about, where they came from, what were their prospects – real or imagined - and what’s next! And while we’re at it, let’s pepper about hot topics. No salad. All show.
