You don't have to be a San Francisco Giants fan to be a fan of Gabe Kapler. From taking a knee for racial injustice to his non-profit organization Pipeline for Change, he shares that his activist spirit can be traced back to his parents, who were very active in the civil rights movement. Pipeline for Change  "was created to provide resources and remove obstacles for BIPOC, women, non-binary people and members of the LGBTQ+community to participate in all aspects of collegiate and professional sports". The San Francisco Giants manager (who was named National League Manager of the Year in 2021) says that baseball (and sports in general) has been dominated by white men for far too long. In this interview, you'll hear how Gabe is focused on not just talking the talk, but walking the walk- both on and off the field. We get into everything from the importance of taking care of your mental health, to his thoughts on first moving to San Francisco, and his deep love of 90s hip-hop. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!For more information on Pipeline for Change, head to their website or follow them on IG & Twitter & FB & YTYou can follow Gabe Kapler on IG & TwitterThis episode is brought to you in part by our friends at Lost Republic Distillery, visit them at LostRepub.com-Thanks for listening and for your support!

Dusty Baker is a legend whose trailblazing career transcends baseball, but he's got unfinished business. The 3x National League Manager of the Year is still chasing a World Series ring to pair with the one he won as a player with the Dodgers. As one of baseball's most-respected and beloved figures, he was probably the only manager who could've successfully taken over the Astros job after the organization came under fire in the wake of a sign-stealing scandal.  Baker's incredible life journey has been shaped by supportive parents, a stint in the Marines, and a close friendship with former teammate, Hank Aaron, who helped Baker, a California native, adapt to life in the segregated south. In this episode, Baker talks about his life-long love of hoops, what he learned from reading Hank Aaron's hate mail, how he rates Mike Trout and Jacob DeGrom among baseball's all-time greats, and why America urgently needs to improve its capacity for forgiveness.  Learn more about your ad choices.

2020 National League Manager of the year, former Major League Baseball (MLB) first baseman and current manager for the Miami Marlins, Don Mattingly sits down with PepsiCo Human Resources VP, Michael Rady to discuss assessing talent and setting the contract of expectations upfront, at a major league level.

Welcome to the "Get in the Game" podcast! We are excited to welcome Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to the show today. Last season he helped guide the Dodgers to their first World Series championship since 1988, and he also won a World Series as a player with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He was named the National League Manager of the Year Award in 2016. A former teammate of Scott Linebrink, Roberts shares what it means to manage and play professional sports with a servant leadership mentality. "Being a professional athlete is very difficult," he said. "People ask and want things. I just really believe that having that sense of that servant mindset to want to help others, it always kind of gets you back to that gratitude piece that we've got it pretty good. There's other things outside of baseball. I think that ultimately will make you a better person and a better ballplayer, I really do." He also opens up about his faith and how it has guided him through his career and what giving back does for the heart. Be sure to subscribe to Get in the Game wherever you listen to podcasts, and check out the other shows on the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.

They talk about Clint's favorite moment as the Pirates manager, coaching, leadership, faith, family, and more! To learn more about Clint, go to the show notes at L3Leadership.org/episode123 Clint's Bio: Clint Hurdle was named manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates on November 15, 2010, thus becoming the 39th manager in the organization's history. The 2016 season will mark his 42nd overall in professional baseball. Hurdle has led the Pirates to the postseason in three consecutive seasons, joining Fred Clarke (1901-1903) and Jim Leyland (1990-1992) as the only managers in club history to do so. Under Hurdle's guidance, the Pirates posted the second-best record in the Major Leagues in 2015 (98-64) and the best mark overall from May 9 thru the end of the season (85-48, .639). In his five seasons as Pittsburgh's manager, Hurdle has posted a 431-379 record. He picked up career win #900 on 6/12/15 and his 431 managerial victories in a Pirates uniform rank seventh on the club's all-time list.

Manager-of-the-Year by the BBWAA; he finished second to Washington manager Matt Williams in 2014. During the 2014 campaign, Clint picked up his 800th career managerial victory on May 23 and was a member of Mike Matheny's coaching staff at the All-Star Game in Minnesota. Hurdle was named the 2013 National League Manager-of-the-Year by the BBWAA after leading the Pirates to a 94-68 record and their first postseason berth since 1992. He received 25 first-place votes and was listed second on the other five ballots, as well as being the only manager in either league named on all 30 ballots. Hurdle was just the second Pittsburgh manager to win the award, joining Jim Leyland, who won in 1990 and 1992. Hurdle also captured Manager-of-the-Year honors from The Sporting News in 2013, joining Billy Meyer (1948), Danny Murtaugh (1960, 1970) and Jim Leyland (1988, 1990, 1992) as past winners in club history. Hurdle spent 2010 as the Hitting Coach of the A.L. champion Texas Rangers, a club that led the Majors with a .276 average during the regular season - paced by A.L. MVP Josh Hamilton (.359 average, 32 homers and 100 RBI) and Vladimir Guerrero (.300 average, 29 homers and 115 RBI). Prior to joining the Texas coaching staff on November 5, 2009, Hurdle spent over 15 years in the Colorado organization, serving as a minor league hitting coordinator, Major League hitting coach and manager at the big league level.
