Ep64: Dan Plesac
He was one of the most dominant lefty relievers of all time. He’s become one of the best baseball analysts of all time. And he is easily one of the funniest people of all time. He’s Dan Plesac! Sean gets Dan to take us down memory lane from the time he made the difficult decision to give up a full hoops scholarship to NC State to become one of his generations most feared closers. And you will not want to miss the back-and-forth Case have telling insane stories about playing for Jim Leyland – complete with Sac’s spot-on Jim Leyland impression. Plus how Dan used his mind just as much as his fastball to become the pitcher he would. Plus, what was it like walking into his first game ever – at Yankee Stadium! What he learned from the likes of Robin Young, Paul Molitor, and Dave Righetti. And why he drove past the little league field he played on as a kid every time he made the trip to Spring Training as a pro. So join Sean, Chinch, and their great, great friend Dan Plesac as we take you deep inside his amazing origin story.
