Baseball and BBQ Episode #117: Former MLB Player and Manager, Bobby Valentine and KCBS CEO, Emily Detwiler

Episode #117 features two incredibly entertaining, returning guests, Bobby Valentine and Emily Detwiler. Bobby Valentine or as most people call him, Bobby V is one of the most loved, well known, respected, colorful, and celebrated ambassadors of the game.  His life has been an incredible journey filled with wonderful stories which he shares in astonishing detail in the book, Valentine's Way: My Adventurous Life and Times, coauthored with Peter Golenbock.  Bobby V is a former Major League Baseball player and manager, managing teams in both the United States and Japan.  Many people know him for one game in which he was ejected for speaking his mind and then sitting in the dugout wearing a disguise, but that is a mere drop in a very large bucket of a life filled with special people and events.  He has worked for a future United States President, been a restaurateur, a champion ballroom dancer, an ESPN baseball analyst, and managed the New York Mets in the 2000 Subway Series against the crosstown rival New York Yankees.    Emily Detwiler is the CEO of the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and a baseball fan, especially of any team on which her brother-in-law, pitcher, Ross Detwiler is playing.  The past couple of years have not been easy for an organization that relies heavily on barbecue competitions in the United States as well as throughout the world and yet, Emily has managed to elevate the KCBS back to the lofty success level it once achieved.  We are joined by our friend, Doug Scheiding as we discuss barbecue with a small amount of baseball thrown in.We recommend you go to Fifth & Cherry, https://fifthandcherry.com for wonderful cutting boards and http://www.baseballbbq.com for grill tools and clothing for barbecue and baseball fans and the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, https://www.pbbclub.com  to find many of the wonderful books we have featured as well as some additional swag.We conclude the show with the beautiful song, "Ace and Bobo" from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.If you would like to contact the show, we would love to hear from you.Call the show:  (516) 855-8214Email:  [email protected]:  @baseballandbbqInstagram:  baseballandbarbecueYouTube:  baseball and bbqWebsite:  https://baseballandbbq.weebly.comFacebook:  baseball and bbq Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
