Ep. 921 Eric Hosmer | Welcome to the Other Side

For Kansas City Royals fans, Joel’s guest needs no introduction. A 13-year major league career, All-Star Game MVP, and World Champion. For the non-baseball fans, here is a short excerpt from Joel’s book, about his guest saying that he is “the best leader I’ve covered in baseball.” Joel wrote that in 2020 and it still stands true today. As Joel embarks on his 17th season as the host of every Royals pre-game and post-game show, Joel has met and interviewed hundreds upon hundreds of MLB players throughout his career. He is often asked who his favorite is. It’s an impossible question and he could list off superstars and role players for hours. But if pressed, it’s a three-way tie between Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez, and Joel’s guest today. Take a listen as Joel sits down with the on and only, Eric Hosmer to talk baseball and his life on the other side. Check out the conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0DvSXGWO51E
