Coach & Kernan Episode 85 Real Voices of the Game with Special Guest Long Time Scout Ray Crone


Dave, AMBS, and Will engage Ray Crone, former MLB Pitcher and 50 year veteran of scouting (Expos, Obirds, Padres, DBacks). From his high school encounter with the Babe, to signing with the same scout as Willie Mays (and garnering more $) to debuting with Hank Aaron ... Crone's time in baseball is a timeline for baseball and US History. The conversations go from Castro (yes Fidel) to Clemens and dive into special relationships with Kevin Towers and pitching lessons via teammate Warren Spahn. You'll get hit right in the beginning with a story about his starting pitching debut at Wrigley vs. Mr Cub himself-Ernie Banks. Listen closely, and you'll hear Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer appear in each story (Hornsby, Speaker, Bill Terry, Eddie Mathews).
