Baseball Backroads #3 - Andy Berglund

Hello and welcome to episode three of the Baseball Backroads podcast. Thank you to everyone who downloaded previous episodes and welcome to new listeners from Australia. We’re now reaching three continents so that’s pretty cool. We’re really excited about the amount of engagement we’re getting, but definitely want to keep growing our audience so if you haven’t already please subscribe to the podcast, and if you have some time leave us a rating and review. And, if you enjoy the podcast, please share it with your friends. Also follow us on instagram @baseball backroads where we’ll share podcast related content, some additional baseball content, and personal content from my baseball journey if that interests you. If you already follow us on Instagram you may have seen I took a little road trip through Pennsylvania and saw three games in three days - the Harrisburg Senators, Altoona Curve, and Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a wonderful weekend of baseball and a lot of fun. Today’s episode features Andy Berglund. Most recently, Andy served as the manager for the South African team in the World Baseball Classic qualifier in Regensburg, Germany. Andy has also coached in Europe serving as manager of the Prague Eagles in the Czech Republic, the Czech national team coach, and the Belgian national team coach. Andy has spend a couple decades now playing and coaching in Europe and is probably the best person to listen to if you’re interested in learning about European baseball or international competition generally. Andy is also an old friend, and it had been awhile since we spoke. So, it was great catching up. Hope you enjoy my conversation with Andy Berglund on the backroads.
