Aaron Rowand- 2005 WS Champion w/ Chicago White Sox

Send us a text


Aaron speaks about playing slow pitch softball with his father at
age 10 and his mentors in the big league as a child. We go into
detail about being drafted out of high school, the decision to
attend college instead and what that taught him. How minor league
baseball is different from college and the big leagues. 


 


After going over his fit at bat, first hit and how the White Sox
and Aaron handled his first injury. We discuss how the team
started to get gel in the 2004 season that led to a World Series
Championship in 2005 to being traded less than a month later!


We go over his outstanding catch in Philadelphia, what it is like
to be an All Star and now being a manager.
