Vic Verchereau welcomes John Smoltz, who is an American Baseball Pitcher, Broadcaster, and Speaker. The National Baseball Hall of Fame features the story of John Smoltz.... "Dealt to the Braves when he was only a minor league prospect, John Smoltz soon established himself as a workhorse right-handed hurler for a young team on the verge of turning the corner. In the midst of this prolonged success, a troublesome elbow forced Smoltz the starter to become Smoltz the closer for three-and-a-half years. But Smoltz would emerge from this uncharted path to become the only player in big league history with at least 200 career wins and 150 saves". John said, "I literally gave everything I had every single time I went out there." To many in the Lansing area, we marveled at his career and his amazing work ethic. Today, Lansing, Michigan's famous son is a national broadcaster and highly sought speaker for leading companies across America. Vic Verchereau, catches up with John Smoltz to get his insight on what is needed today in business and the search for excellence.

The New York Yankees had an off day on Wednesday, but there are things to discuss, like Juan Soto being an MVP candidate. Is that too much to expect from Soto in 2024, or is it a fair challenge for the outfielder? Soto also did a Q&A with The Athletic (linked below) in which he talked about a few things, but Stacey and Steve focused on some of his answers. Like how he was used to batting third but was batting second in 2023 with San Diego and how he wishes he could have stayed in Washington. Then John Smoltz was on The Michael Kay Show discussing Soto and his spot in the Yankees lineup, and Steve had some thoughts about what Smoltz said. And there are some injury updates from Spring Training and a small move was made for a backup infielder. Soto interview: https://theathletic.com/5301000/2024/02/28/juan-soto-yankees-interview/Join the LOY Insiders Club! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonyankeesWhat is the insider's club? https://youtu.be/BItWi-kbIJY?t=1468Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH5857VCyYLAzsWr9vHk4sQFollow Stacey On Twitter: https://twitter.com/StaceGotsSubscribe to Steve's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevegranadoFollow Steve On Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveGranadoFollow the Show On Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnYankeesSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it's easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.
