6/22 ASTRO POD featuring Brian McTaggart

There's more to baseball than what fans see and hear on the field. Oftentimes, our eyes and ears of the ballpark come from our favorite broadcasters, photographers and reporters who cover this game each day and every day, with or without games being played. Brian McTaggart is a fan favorite who has been reporting, traveling and writing about the Houston Astros for 17 seasons and is the author of "100 Things Astros Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die." Broadcaster Steve Sparks catches up with the MLB.com reporter to see how he has been spending his time during the ambiguous 2020 season. McTaggart shares stories of growing up in Pasadena, spending his childhood at the Astrodome, writing for the Houston Post, attending U of H, covering the Little League World Series, Rice baseball and watching his favorite athlete, Hakeem Olajuwon. Episode 28 with McTaggart covers a lot of baseball but it takes us off the field for a few adventures as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
