Description

In this episode of The Three Inning Fan Show, host Kelley Franco sits down with legendary MLB manager Bobby V for a fast-paced, wide-ranging, and unexpectedly personal conversation. From managing the Mets to the 2000 World Series to becoming a cultural icon in Japan with the Chiba Lotte Marines, Bobby shares unforgettable stories from his life along the way—like almost replacing O.J. Simpson, his friendship with Tommy Lasorda, and Al Leiter’s epic Game 5 performance in the 2000 World Series. But baseball is really just the beginning. Hear how Bobby starred in high school theater, how it was the springboard to his Japanese fluency, and how he won ballroom dancing competitions as a kid. Spoiler: the waltz is his wheelhouse. And of course…we get to hear what Bobby likes to eat while watching the ballgame – savvy fans won’t be surprised at his answer!*Music by Podington Bear
