MLB All-Star Dan Plesac: Setting Aside Ego to Evolve in Your Role TB9, S9, E17

from The Back 9 - Midlife, Best Life.

On this episode of The Back 9, Dennis and Josh catch up with three time All Star reliever and longtime MLB analyst Dan Plesac for a masterclass on how to fulfill your role — as a professional, a father and a man.  Dan discusses his evolution from ninth inning hammer to matchup specialist, and the difficulty he had accepting his new role in the bullpen pecking order.  He also shares his struggle with reintegrating into domestic life both after each season and after his career, and how that struggle ultimately led to his divorce.  But you'll be uplifted by the attitude that helped him rebuild his relationship with his daughters and grandchildren. And there's some other fun along the way — Dan relays the unforgettable story of his lone big league hit and previews baseball's playoffs, while we all bond over our woes around the green.  Get your pencils and scorecards ready…for another fantastic episode of The Back 9.
