In our mega preview of Home Run Derby X – which is coming to London on Saturday 9 July – John chats to Yankees legend Nick Swisher about renewing the sport’s oldest rivalry, his pivotal role in baseball’s greatest book and what’s changed for the juggernaut 2022 Bombers; to Spencer Owen about training to convert from semi-pro footballer to professional bomb blaster, and about the lessons MLB can learn from his guerrilla approach to soccer; and finally from Paige Halstead about translating from softball to baseball and the importance of visibility and opportunity for women in the latter sport.
We’ll have another great pod for you on Friday covering both HRDX and the future of MLB and the wider sport in Europe – watch this space!
