John Miedreich, Baseball United Exec, On Global Development, Grassroots Baseball, Mariano Rivera & Barry Larkin

John Miedreich is the Executive VP of Baseball Operations for Baseball United (www.BaseballUnited.com), a new venture that is bringing the game to Dubai, the Middle East, India, Pakistan and South Asia. Miedreich joined Joe Rizzo to explain the depth of the venture, the goals and the organization. When we see the first MLB player finally come from this region, we can go back right here to understand how it all started. For MLB fans, the credibility of the venture lies in the backing of two Hall of Famers, the Yankees' Mariano Rivera and the Reds' Barry Larkin. Miedreich explained their roles, which are far more than figureheads. Because you might not have heard of Miedreich, you would be curious about his background, which is a unique career with the NYPD. How did that lead to this role? Riz got all the answers, and you won't believe the story! Support Diamond Diehards! Join the Facebook group to be part of the action when they're live!
