DV catches up with Nomar before Game 2 of the NLCS. Nomar shares the key to hitting in the postseason. 

Episode 271 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the diamond discussing Nomar Garciaparra. After an incredible college career at Georgia Tech, Garciaparra was selected by the Boston Red Sox 12th overall in the 1994 MLB Draft. Garciaparra was Boston's starting Shortstop by Opening Day of 1997, and he became one of the league's best and brightest stars. Garciaparra won A.L. Rookie of the Year and a Silver Slugger during his first season, and continued to be one of the best hitters in MLB. He was the first right-handed batter to win consecutive batting titles (1999 & 2000) since Joe DiMaggio, and was arguably the biggest reason why the Red Sox developed into title contenders during the early 2000s. Sadly, a devastating wrist injury & contract dispute led to his exit out of Boston in 2004. Even though a series of other injuries ruined a potential spot Hall of Fame, Garciaparra still finished his career as a 6x All-Star and with a .313 batting average. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support

July 23 Baseball History DailyHappy Birthday - Pee Wee Reese Against all odds, Pee Wee Reese earned an opportunity to play professional baseball, start for the Dodgers, play in several World Series, and be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. He did the little things that helped his teams win: bunt the runner over, go from first to third on a base hit, or range into the hole for a grounder. He was the best shortstop in the National League in the late 1940s and into the 1950s.Pee Wee Reese got his nickname as a young champion marble shooter; a “pee wee” is a type of marble. A Kentucky native, he earned the monicker The Little Colonel as the star shortstop on the Louisville Colonels (American Association). After his arrival in Brooklyn, he was named captain of the Dodgers, and many called him The Captain. The title was well earned, as he was the leader of Dodger teams that won seven pennants in the 1940s and 1950s. When Jackie Robinson arrived in Brooklyn amid enormous pressures and player resentment, it was Reese who set the example of acceptance, putting his arm around Robinson's shoulder on the field, showing the world he was Robinson's teammate and friend.Inducted as Player in 1984.

Today on The 617: we discuss the shocking news of Xander Bogaerts leaving the Boston Red Sox in free agency to sign with the San Diego Padres.
