Bob Scanlan: From the Mound to the Mic

Former MLB pitcher Bob Scanlan spent nine years in the big leagues before walking away from the mound and picking up a microphone. But the road from the bullpen to the broadcast booth was anything but a straight line. In this episode, Bob takes us through seven years grinding in the minor leagues, an anticlimactic callup in a Denver parking lot, a stack of rejections from broadcast agents who told him he didn't have what it takes, and the moment at a USC baseball game that changed everything. Now 23 years into a broadcasting career with the San Diego Padres, Bob talks about showing up for the number one ranked broadcast team in baseball, what it means to be someone's eyes for the game, and the one thing still missing from an already incredible journey. This one's for anyone who's ever bet on themselves when nobody else would.
