#98 BASEBALL REIMAGINED: Sluggball with Ruben Amaro Jr. & Greg Olenski

"Sluggball is the pickle ball of baseball." The Mark Howley Show welcomes two of the leading founders to Sluggball, an emerging game in the world of Baseball that focuses on situational hitting. In layman terms, getting to crack the bat against the ball to experience that sweet, addictive sound baseball lovers know well. No base running, more hitting! We talk to Ruben Amaro Jr., an eight-year Major League Baseball player, former General Manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, and current baseball analyst for MLB Network and NBC Sports. We are joined also by co-founder Greg Olenski, who is the head coach of a PA State Champion high school baseball program and former Division 1 college baseball player at University of Maryland and University of Delaware. Their passion is unmatched for this game. They recognized that thousands of former players whether from high school, college, rec, or professional were not playing due to age, access, physical ability, life events...etc. Sluggball is hosting events year round to attract all baseball lovers to experience an epic game back in the ballpark. Imagine... you are a baseball family: grandpa, father and son can all play against one another and bring the love of the game back into their lives. Family in the stands, hotdogs, and pure American fun."This is real." Ruben Amaro Jr. tells us after he witnessed this exact family moment in a past event.Check out their website + youtube for more info and their next event: https://www.playsluggball.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@Sluggball
