6-6-22: A broken neck and a 550 ft homer

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.This week I am going to share three uplifting and amazing stories from the game of baseball. The first is the story of Ron Kittle, who I played with in the minor leagues. Kittle broke his neck sliding into home plate in his very first minor league game, but he kept playing for over a year without knowing how serious the injury was until the pain caused his production to fall and he was released. He was told by doctors that he would never play again but after surgery and a lot of rehab he began playing in an independent league. One day he hit a massive home run that landed on the freeway almost hitting White Sox executives who were driving down the road. They pulled over, offered him a tryout and a few years later he was Rookie of the Year. Listen for the full story. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here    Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
