In the latest edition of the Florida Keys Weekly Podcast we are joined by legendary Key West High baseball coach Ralph Henriquez. During his 17 years at KWHS, Henriquez has won over 538 games, along with three state titles. His Conch baseball teams have been ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation under his tenure and over 120 of his players have signed college scholarships, with 11 of his student athletes drafted into the pros straight out of high school. Henriquez discusses his coaching stints with the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees systems and is joined by Scott Atwell as we chat about what it takes to build a winning culture, the expectations that come with winning in a baseball town—and a moving tribute to the late, legendary pitcher, Bruce Sutter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One report vaguely referenced Foxconn as a potential candidate for the ‌Apple Car‌'s production, but Apple is also looking at other possible suppliers. - Foxconn has already ruled out Mexico as a location but is in negotiations with three states in the U.S. to build its first EV manufacturing plant in North America, Nikkei Asia has learned. Those include Wisconsin, which just agreed with Foxconn to amend its former plan of investing $10 billion in the state -- a promise Foxconn made in 2017.
