Driving ‘em In with Jim Campanis Jr & Eric Lenaburg

We welcome our Special Guest--Mark Littell, former MLB pitcher, Coach, the inventor of the Nutty Buddy, and Author of two books joins Campy and Lenny for a rip-roaring show of great stories and laughs.  What a blast!  Hear some of his minor league stories, big-league accomplishments, and the invention that has saved many a baseball player's most precious jewels.  

Big thanks to our special guest, Jim “The Rookie” Morris, for joining us for an interesting episode on a very unusual career. In case you missed it, Jim wrote an autobiography about his baseball career that was turned in to a Feature Film by Disney starring Dennis Quaid. Lenny and Campy discussed his “first” career, his teaching and coaching career, and then his “second career” coming back after nearly 10 years off to make it to the majors. Jim discusses his past and details his current career as a Motivational Speaker working with some of the top companies in the world. If you love a great come-back story, and who doesn’t then be sure to check out this episode of “Driving ‘Em In”.

Kirk Shrider, High School Head Coach, College Coach, High-Level Collegiate Summer Ball Manager, MLB Scout and a WEALTH of baseball knowledge discusses the importance of Summer ball at this WEIRD time.  Plus the conversation gets into speculation on where the 2020 season will go at levels of the game.  What about the HS Seniors? What about the College Juniors who had a shot get drafted?  What about the draft itself? So many unanswered questions but Kirk helps put everything into perspective with his vast experience and insider baseball information.  This show is must-listen for young players, their parents and baseball fans who love hearing the inside scoop.

Desi Relaford was a former teammate with Campy when they both played AA in Jacksonville, FL which is Desi's home town.  They've remained friends ever since.  Desi has more years in the game as anyone else we could think of so what a perfect guest to discuss the baseball topic of this episode--Spring Training!  Desi has 16 of them under his belt with many teams and in many venues.  He talks about the good, bad and ugly of Spring Training from the player's point of view.  What's better as a player--Florida or Arizona Spring Training?  Plus, he discusses his newest adventure--returning to pro baseball in France and getting into shape at 48 for Spring Training.  You'll enjoy this inside take on the kick-off to the season.
