Ep. 19: Ericka Ransom

We all know baseball from the first pitch to the last out. However, what is the baseball life like the other 20 hours a day? This week’s guest, Ericka Ransom (an accomplished athlete herself and Cody’s wife), breaks down the highs and lows of a baseball family. Ericka has been by Cody’s side through it all, and together they have forged an inspiring partnership as they continue to raise kids and give back to baseball. Life is a team effort, so give this episode a listen as your #playingthegame. - Show Notes: 00:00 - 08:37: Introducing Ericka Ransom 08:38 - 14:36: Moving A LOT and supporting a pro baseball player 14:37 - 20:18: Enjoying the moment (hard to do) and family support 20:19 - 24:28: LIfe after baseball 24:29 - 32:33: Ericka and Cody meet 32:34 - 38:20: Ericka’ academic and athletic success 38:21 - 44:01: JUCO V College 44:02 - 49:44: Engaged, FINALLLY! 49:45 - 59:31: A new life, a baseball life 59:32 - 67:03: Planning life arounds seasons (baseball and hunting) 67:04 - 72:57: Ups and downs coupled with transience 72:58 - 77:16: Spousal support through it all 77:17 - 85:35: The lows of lows 85:36 - 91:16: Life abroad 91:17 - 95:32: Calling it good 95:33 - 100:27: Knowing when to say when 102:28 - 109:59: Running a club 110:00 - 115:26: Integrity, honesty, and hard work, the foundation of all success 115:27 - 122:24: The odds of making it and proper expectations 122:25 - 128:04: The losers bracket 128:05 - 130:06: Brock’s short pitching career 130:07 - 135:06: BJJ matches coming soon! - Ericka on Instagram: @e.rans
