Not even 40 and already a name to reckon with, Barta has led teams to an impressive five state championships. Our discussion dives deep into Barta's monumental achievement of turning Johnston High School, a large public institution, into a powerhouse of baseball. In an age where high schools emphasize sports like basketball and football, Barta's accomplishment stands out. Under his guidance, Johnston is not just thriving in high school baseball but setting standards so advanced that colleges seek to emulate. Trusty co-host, Tom Griffin, adds layers of camaraderie to the discussion, having had his own coaching endeavors with Barta. As they inaugurate the new MGS podcast studio, the trio delves into Barta's strategies, the rapid build of the program, and explores the future for someone who's already reached such pinnacles at a relatively young age. A blend of personal insights, professional achievements, and a hint of nostalgia makes this a must-listen for fans of the pod and anyone interested in the captivating world of high school baseball.

Hail to the CBA and the Yakima Sun Kings forever. And also hail to the corner of the record book where David Peterson now finds himself: the first pitcher in major league history, according to Stathead, to post a line with at least six walks, five strikeouts, a hit batter, and a home run allowed — with the homer accounting for the only run against him — in fewer than five innings. Or four innings, for that matter. Or, in fact, had the exact combination of six walks and five strikeouts with their one run allowed on a homer and their hit batsman. Peterson is the very first.Peterson did all that while throwing 91 pitches to get 11 outs, and the Mets didn't come completely unglued until the seventh inning, after which the back-to-back home runs by D.J. Stewart and Jonathan Araúz weren't enough.The previous record for fewest innings pitched in a game with at least six walks, five strikeouts, a hit batter, and a lone run on a homer was 5.2 for Jonathan Sánchez, for the Giants in Arizona on June 11, 2009. A Justin Upton homer and Max Scherzer on the (plus an Upton RBI single off Brandon Medders) lifted the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 win in that game.Sánchez, who walked seven in that game 14 years ago, was the first pitcher to crack the six-inning barrier, and until last night was the only other pitcher at all to have a six-walk, five-strikeout game with a hit batter and the only run on a homer, in the entire 21st century. Sánchez remains the only pitcher ever to have such a line and be the losing pitcher.The only other time that a pitcher's team lost one of these games was April 15, 1942, when the Pirates scored five runs against Elmer Riddle in the first inning, and Ray Starr came in from the bullpen and kept things respectable, going the rest of the way with seven strikeouts and seven walks, and allowing the only other Pittsburgh run in a 6-2 affair on a Bob Elliott dinger.There have been a bunch of different walk and strikeout totals among the now dozen pitchers in this group, but only one man hit two batters: Scott Garrelts plunked Brett Butler and Glenn Hubbard while also walking seven, striking out six, and outdueling Pascual Perez, who went the distance for Atlanta in a 2-1 loss (Chris Chambliss hit the homer) to Garrelts and the Giants at Candlestick Park on September 7, 1983.Before Garrelts, there was Mike Torrez (1976 Orioles), Tom Griffin (1969 Astros), Ken McBride (1961 Angels), Pedro Ramos (1956 Senators), Bob Turley (1954 Orioles), Bobby Shantz (1952 A's), and Rankin Johnson (1914 Chi-Feds), all in winning efforts of their own — sloppy games that were somehow one swing from being shutouts. Shantz went 14 innings at Yankee Stadium, striking 11 and walking seven in his game, while giving up the homer to Mickey Mantle and drilling Johnny Mize.The one other pitcher on the list, the one between Garrelts and Sánchez? Dwight Gooden, against Atlanta at Shea on April 26, 1989. Ron Gant homered in the third inning, but the Mets scored two in the fifth for a 3-1 lead, and homers by Kevin McReynolds and Howard Johnson provided a 6-1 cushion. That was the final score, but Gooden provided some stress by walking his last two batters to load the bases in the ninth. Gerald Perry then made Randy Myers work for the last out, a 10-pitch battle finally ending with a foul tip into the glove of Gary Carter.You can see that game now, thanks to the internet!

In this episode, Tom Griffin, Hui Lu, and Josh Clemente discuss the importance of treating people like adults as a cultural value. They define this as trusting employees' judgment and allowing them to navigate their work independently without paternalistic oversight. Trust and transparency build strong relationships, while autonomy allows employees to manage their time and work output. Balancing guidance and discretion is key to not being too rigid in policies. The team also discusses scenarios where treating people like adults is tested, such as expense policies and leadership changes.

Bio HC Carson Newman University Over 18 years guiding the Eagles, the New Jersey-native has coached five Major League Baseball Draft Picks and 22 total professional players.   38 players have earned All-SAC honors, 15 have been named to all-region teams and seven have taken home All-American honors. Griffin is considered one of the premier catching minds in the game authoring an instructional catching baseball video, "Catch It, Block It, Throw It"  featured speaker at the American Baseball Coaches Association convention in Orlando, Florida in 2007 and Anaheim, California in 2012. He has compiled an overall record of 421-321 and a conference record of 187-165 at Carson Newman.  He is 605-489-2 in 30 seasons as a college baseball coach. (1 year in high school) Griffin, ranked second among active SAC coaches, becomes the 37th active skipper in Division II to win 600 games as a head coach   Notes Am I getting better at communicating? Am I getting better at helping the players get better? There is a greater purpose than the wins and losses The purpose in coaching, and it helps us reflect Coaches have a ton of content to be able to reflect and learn from so much of that good content Help run camps! This is more than just camp, this is lesson in life and how to play the game the right way Be a constant learner Learning when to say things Find out about your kids and what makes them tick Learn to communicate with kids either as a group or individually Have a feel, common sense, street awareness How do we get instincts?Experience, have awareness of what is happening, watching the game, Variety in our training Different drills create athlete as catcher The body get used to the training it is under Catchers Gear only comes off when they hit Ask our catchers how their legs are train accordingly. This is after you get to know them so you know who to push and who to put the brakes on Different stances during each commercials Nothing better than catching bullpens for a catcher Top Gun competition - different test for every aspect of competition The more you can have some competition for receiving, blocking, throwing Spending more time on hitting might not allow you to get in the lineup Working on balls out of the zone to learn how to handle it. Gives the pitcher more confidence Keeps the run game in order Dry work, shadow drills, specific area, simple to complex Pushup to catch - help the body organize it and help when the skill is les complex Training needs to be a higher level than the game so the game becomes easier Visual training, verbal training, and have a lot of tools in the toolbox to help kids get better We are teachers trying to get players from point a to point b We all have opinions and no one is wrong If i am passionate about something and i can get my players to buy in then do it!!  Skid mark on a movement object Listen to the umpire (quit moving) Its got to be something you believe and you are passionate about it and what works for you What works for you! You have to have some core principles When you go shopping, bring a small cart The key is getting the players to buy into what you are teaching Servant hearts - when we develop our catcher we need to develop leaders! The catching position is the leadership position Pitching calling, umpire relationship, leading pitching staff/team relationships,  Classroom, video, we talk about it, show examples of leadership If we don't have them, we need to learn them What are the traits of a good leader?Teach, talk, and practice it! Get feedback when they do it!! Remind them of the time we missed it Specific feedback  Intentional about finding wins everyday!! Pick up on things from a recruit during a visit and how they handle conversation and speak to parents Can we change this mans life?? Why not us?? Never forget where your heart is and what your purpose is  Need someone to tell you the right thing and hold you accountable Need some sort of pitt stop and check in to slow it down and take moments to spend time with someone to make sure you are  Any relationship starts with HELLO! We don't come to watch game, we come to learn! Life is about relationships and learning from others! You gotta see everything Bullpens to outfield - catch the good and catch the bad - want kids to know they are always being watch - everything matters Stretching, weight room - i need to evaluate the player to know you are going to our guy Want players to take ownership of that eventually 90% is being encouraging and 10% is correcting and holding the standard Practice variety - plan it like the game (from offense to defense) Baserunning, team defense, batting practice Creating mass hysteria!!! Help make them make decisions in those chaotic times Be a constant learner Find a mentor Find a servant heart Help the game grow We want a generational kid! Program built on developing the generational player tgriffin@cn.edu https://catchblockthrowit.com/

Technology, innovation and changing customer expectations are transforming the insurance industry. Survey results show that 45% of insurance customers are “likely” or “very likely” to change insurance providers within the next 12 months. What’s more is that only half of customers are “very satisfied” with the payment options that their insurance company offers, making the customer experience and technology increasingly important. In this episode of the Insurtech Center Podcast Series, we spoke with Tom Griffin, President of Invoice Cloud, to discuss the role of online payment options and how insurance companies can build more engagement and retention by leveraging innovative technologies.

Evolutionary biologists never have enough time. Some of the most mysterious behaviors in the animal kingdom—like parenting—evolved over thousands of years, if not longer. Human lifespans are just too short to sit and observe such complex behaviors evolve. But computer scientists are beginning to offer clues by using artificial intelligence to simulate the life and death of thousands of generations of animals in a matter of hours or days. It’s called computational evolution. One behavior that’s long baffled biologists is called mobbing, in which a gang of hyenas team up to steal prey from much more powerful lions. When UT Austin computer scientists Risto Miikkulainen and Padmini Rajagopalan simulated hyenas and lions on a virtual African savannah, they found something surprising.

Never in my wildest dreams could an aspiring mountain bike pro living off of $17 per week have predicted the level of success that TPC would achieve nor the opportunity that lies ahead. With nearly 100 employees, 140K square feet of new warehouse space, and a plan to double in size over the next 12 months, TPC has grown into something much larger than I could have ever imagined. And we are just getting started! For me personally, this is a celebration. It is an opportunity after 15 years to shed some “weight” and free up some mental energy to reinvest in my growing family. It is also an opportunity to level up our executive team and invest in the future. To be clear, I am not going anywhere. I will continue to be an active member of our leadership team. I will be taking this opportunity to refocus my skills on aspects of our business that I am deeply passionate about: our culture, our brand, and our processes, all the while sitting alongside our new leader and supporting our team in carrying out our vision and strategy for the future.

In Daytona on December 5th and 6th there is a triathlon festival–the Challenge Daytona Triathlon. There are two days of racing finishing with the PTO Pro Championship. One million dollars will be awarded to top male and female finishers. Pros are invited based on qualifying points and below is a list of the top 40 male and female pros who have qualified. In addition, 10 men and 10 women will be awarded “wildcard” spots. If you are curious how that will work, here is a link to the process: https://protriathletes.org/pto-2020-championships-wildcard-selection-criteria/ The Wildcards will be chosen next week. It will be interesting to see if recent 70.3 IRONMAN Cozumel winner and Boulder native Sam Long gets an invite. On Sams YouTube page in his Cozumel race review he alludes to hopefully being invited to Daytona. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7LaidPWcAs Broadly speaking, there are three main categories of athletes who are considered for a wildcard selection: 1) Athletes whose rankings, because of injury, maternity or other reasons, do not accurately reflect the quality of their historical performances and who have demonstrated that they are capable of being in-form for the event; 2) Up and coming athletes who have shown the ability to be competitive with the qualifying field, but have not yet had the opportunity to establish a sufficiently high ranking to be an automatic qualifier and; 3) Short course athletes who have a sufficiently high ITU ranking so as to expect that they would be competitive in the event.   Best New Thing In The World Today - Levels Health I get my lab work at my annual physical and my fasting glucose is always "normal".  Friend of ours Tom Griffin contacted me about this "early adopter" pre-release of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) product. It's a wearable and app that tracks glucose levels 24 hours a day so you really can see how diet and exercise affect your glucose. The app has great analysis, logging and educational resources. My leigh person understanding of why high blood sugar is that it can lead to diabetes.  So what if my  fasted blood glucose is "normal", if my blood sugar is actually pretty high most of the time?  I wanted to know and Tom  gets me on the wait list and last week I received an email that my account had been approved and how to set up my account, apps to download, what the next steps were. I received the kit on Saturday with 2 Freestyle Libre continuous glucose measuring device.  I attached the Libre monitor on Saturday afternoon and it did it's calibration.  I took periodic scans to see what my blood-glucose was after eating a banana for a snack and later after dinner.  I still really don't know what I'm doing, but I can see that of the remaining day, my glucose was above normal.  This was my concern of a lurking health problem playing out on Saturday night. Sunday morning I continued to use the Levels app to monitor my glucose levels.  I took a glucose reading first thing this morning. I noticed a sharp spike in blood glucose after having a cup of coffee with 2 tablespoons of half-and-half and 2 tablespoons of creamer.  After eating a two egg omelet and no toast and another cup of coffee with creamer and half-and-half my levels were pretty normal.  I then set off to ride at 9:30-11:30 and fuel with UCAN.  BC rose slightly during exercise and then when I stopped for lunch it jumped above normal and then dropped back into normal for my afternoon ride with Lauren and this time I did not take any fuel, only hydration.  Sunday evening.  For dinner I had a spicy chicken sandwich, salad and ice cream.  There was an initial spike in BC above normal and then it dropped back to normal in the evening. I want to know: How often my BC is above normal ranges?  What happens if I restrict carbs?  What would a really metabolically efficient (like keto) look like?  Why does my blood sugar go down at night while I'm sleeping?  What I want to test: For a given carbohydrate (eg, a banana), what is my blood glucose at different times of the day? Same carbohydrate paired with protein/fat different times of the day Same carbohydrate with no post exercise Same carbohydrate followed by aerobic exercise Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fasted Pre/during/post aerobic exercise fueled (Skratch vs. UCAN)   Video of the Week: Brigid Kosgei crushes 2020 London Marathon; USA's Sara Hall sprints to 2nd place | NBC Sports   Upcoming Interviews: Angela Naeth, the reigning Ironman Chattanooga champ.  Not only is she an Ironman champ, she has taken her own experience, degrees in Health Science and Physical Therapy, and coaching experience, Angela and her staff are helping others achieve their athletic goals.    Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and @303triathlon and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

Welcome to Episode #172 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals. We're your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock.   Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.  Thanks for choosing to spend some time with us.  A couple of weeks ago we took notice of an eye-popping marathon win by pro triathlete Sam Long.  Sam finished the Napa Valley Marathon win in a time of 2:32:33.  We wanted to find out what he's doing to improve his run and what his plans are for the rest of the year.

Of course, I did not abandon my coach's prescribed training.  I would do the easy efforts, but secretly objected to the notion that I could be getting any benefit from easy effort.  It didn’t stop there.  In a subsequent season, I purchased a generic online plan written by Joe Friel.  I still remember the base season training that called for zone 1 efforts and the description read "This should be a very easy effort. It may seem embarrassingly slow, so best run alone."  Again, I frequently complied but secretly objected.  Over the course of my athletic career, I experimented with different plans and sometimes no plan at all.  Some plans took the completely opposite approach and were intensity intensive.  One in particular was nearly absent of easy efforts and almost exclusively moderate or hard efforts.  The plan was stingy with rest days, giving me a day off every three weeks.  Within three months, I was sick as a dog. A few years ago, I did some work with a highly successful athlete and coach, three time Nordic ski Olympian Jim Galanes. We were collecting data for his company EPT (Epoch Performance Training) and using FirstBeat software.  He reminded me of the concept of going easy to go fast.  He was the first to really hold me accountable.  On my frequent "easy" days, if I went to hard he would call me out and tell me that my heart rate or pace was too hard.  He would tell me to jog or walk fast if needed to bring my heart rate below the easy ceiling.  He said to trust him and stay below the ceiling and eventually, within a few weeks, I would see my pace increase at the same heart rate.  He said, stick with it, be patient and you will be rewarded.  I was skeptical.  I followed the advice.  In the early weeks I would jog very slow and often see my heart rate float above the ceiling.  Out of self preservation and a desire to not get chewed out by Jim, I would slow to a fast walk to get my heart rate to drop back below the ceiling and then begin the easy jog again until my heart rate would float back up again.  Jog, the walk, then jog a little slower, then walk a little faster, back and forth until my heart rate would settle in.  Two weeks, no change.  Three weeks and still jog and walk and jog and walk.  Somewhere in that fourth week, I was able to run easy with no walking and kept my heart rate low.  By the fifth week, my 10min/mile pace dropped to 9:45.  By the sixth week, it dropped to 9:30, and then 9:15 at the same heart rate.  This sets me up for the build phase of my season. The easy training is complimented by high intensity sessions 1-2 times per week, or about every 1 out of 5 training sessions. https://running.pocketoutdoormedia.com/train-slower-race-faster_52242 - Train Slower, Race Faster: Matt Fitzgerald "Studies on the training intensity distribution of elite runners have found that most elite runners run at low intensities most of the time. For example, a survey of male and female runners who competed in the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials Marathons revealed that the men did almost three-quarters of their training slower than their marathon race pace, while women did more than two-thirds of their training at slower paces. Why do the fastest runners do most of their running at slow speeds? Because they run a lot, and if they ran a lot and did most of their running at high intensities they would quickly burn out. But you can also turn this answer upside down and say that elite runners run slowly most of the time so that they can run a lot. Research has shown that average weekly running mileage is the best training predictor of racing performance in runners. The more we run, the faster we race. Keeping the pace slow most of the time enables runners to run more without burning out. The training intensity distribution of the typical age-group runner is very different from that of the average professional. This was demonstrated a number of years ago when researchers at Arizona State University asked a group of 30 female runners to describe their training. According to these self-reports, the women did three easy runs, one moderate-intensity run, and 1.5 high-intensity runs per week. But data collected from heart-rate monitors that the researchers gave to the women to wear through one full week of training told a different story. In reality the women did less than half of their training in the low-intensity range, almost half in the moderate-intensity range, and less than 9 percent in the high-intensity range." https://trailrunnermag.com/training/training-plans/heart-rate-training-train-slow-race-fast.html -Train Slow, Race Fast: Yitka Winn “Between 95 and 99 percent of the energy used for endurance sports, including competition, is derived from the aerobic system,” says Dr. Phil Maffetone, an endurance coach who trained six-time Ironman champion Mark Allen. “This is true for events lasting more than a few minutes, and races from the mile to the marathon, and beyond.” Many runners, however, spend the majority of their training hours inadvertently running anaerobically—that is, above their MAHR. According to Maffetone, anaerobic running can actually decrease the number of aerobic muscle fibers. It can also flood the body with damaging levels of lactic acid or the stress hormone cortisol, reducing its ability to recover between workouts and increasing the chances of injury." Elite coach Joe Friel recommends this 30-minute time trial: Complete a thorough warm-up, followed by 30 minutes running at the maximum, consistent effort you can sustain for that duration. At 10 minutes in, click the lap button on your monitor. When you upload your data, find your average heart rate for the remaining 20 minutes. Based on running-specific charts in Friel’s book, Total Heart-Rate Training, multiplying this number by 0.9 will approximate your MAHR. http://www.fleetfeetstlouis.com/news/train-slower-to-race-faster - Train Slower to Race Faster: coach Tim Cary "You don't have to do all runs so slow. Meb, when he came to FLEET FEET this summer, said he runs his long runs at 90 sec/mile slower than marathon pace. That's only his long runs, not all of his runs. His other runs hit different intensity levels. The long run is simply the foundation. There will be normal road run days which are medium length and medium intensity, and there are hard days that are very high intensity but very short in duration. It's about putting in the right ingredients at the right time." https://www.runtastic.com/blog/en/how-to-run-faster/ - Dr. Jason Karp "Mitochondria are the enzymes that catalyze the chemical reactions involved in aerobic metabolism. The more mitochondria your muscles have, the greater your muscles’ capacity to use oxygen and the faster pace you will be able to sustain. The most efficient way to make more mitochondria—more factories, more assembly lines, and more workers—is to run more. And to run more, you have to slow down your runs, because there is an inverse relationship between training intensity and duration: The faster you run, the lower the total amount you can run."   Video of the Week: Train Slower, Race Faster   Endurance Trivia: Question #1 - According to Dr. Jason Karp, which of the following are benefits of training slower? A) reduced chance of injury B) increased vascular density C) mitochondrial biogenesis D) larger muscles   Question #2 - According to Dr. Phil Maffetone, anaerobic training can result in: A) an increase in aerobic muscle fibers B) a decrease in aerobic muscle fibers C) damaging levels of lactic acid D) damaging levels of cortisol   Question #3 - Joe Friel's MAHR test is performed as: A) 180 minus your age B) 220 minus your age C) 20 minute time trial, lap button at 10, average HR last 10 minutes times .90 D) 30 minute time trial, lap button at 10, average HR last 20 minutes times .90    News: https://303triathlon.com/brain-stimulating-headphones-may-work-after-all/ https://303triathlon.com/donald-trump-to-race-kona/   Upcoming Interviews: Writer Alex Hutchison, author of the NY Times best seller Endure Julie Moss on her new book in mid April after her race at Oceanside 70.3.  She is also going to be in Boulder with her friend Wendy Ingraham who is training for Boulder 70.3 National champion cyclist, Denise Korenek on her record breaking feat of being the fastest sustained cycling speed of 184 mph.  You may have read the brief article in 2019, Issue 1 of Bicycling.

Welcome Welcome to Episode #171 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals. We're your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock.   Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.  You have a lot of options for training information and we are glad you are choosing to spend some time with us.  Brain training. What has always fascinated me about endurance is the brains role.  You undoubtedly have your own experience with pacing, giving up or digging deep.  I mentioned last week that I was reading the book, Endure by writer Alex Hutchison.  A significant amount of the content of this book covered various aspects and studies about the brain's involvement in everything from learning to pace ourselves like we heard in last week's episode and the example of the study of children in a running study and at what age the brain learns to conserve energy and "pace" our effort for future needs.  Or, in Tim Noake's "Central Governor" theory and research that first proposed that it isn't the body that knows the limits and the brain simply responds and decides to slow down, there's actually a part of the brain that takes information and stops the body before you reach the physical limits of endurance.   You undoubtedly also have experience using your brain to things as simply as learning to ride a bike, or as hard as nailing the swim stroke or increasing your running cadence.  Today, we are taking a look at a different aspect of brain training.  Is there a way to make the neural connections between the brain and muscles stronger, to recruit muscles more efficiently, to be more resilient, to have greater strength and endurance.  We have Tom Griffin from Halo Neuroscience joining us today to talk about the science, the studies, and the new design of the Halo2.  You will be introduced to the topic of TDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation).  We will talk about that in the interview, and then elaborate on it after in some additional studies that I read about in Alex Hutchison's book Endure.   Announcements: Just a reminder that clothing orders will ship on April 4th.  If you missed the order window, I will have some bib shorts, running shirts, arm warmer and hats. Just contact me at rich@milehighendurance.com and I'll hook you up.

Similarly, when doing a 20 minute all our effort on the trainer in your basement, you may be able to achieve what you believe is your best 20 minute power effort.  Yet, do a time trial race the next day in a competitive situation and now you miraculously find an additional 6 watts of power over the same or greater distance.  Is it that you are 6 watts stronger the next day?  What is the brains role in slowing us down or speeding us up?  How can we tap into those reserves in training?  Do muscles really have memory? How can we get stronger, faster and have more endurance, using our brains?  Let's get into the interview with Tom Griffin.   Sponsor - Halo Neuroscience: Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Neuroscience.  The Halo Sport from Halo Neuroscience will help you learn the technique and form to get faster.  20 minutes of neural priming with the Halo Headset gives you an hour of neural plasticity to work and lock in the muscle movement that leads to strength, power and endurance.

A featured clinician on two occasions at the ABCA Convention plus a number of other coaching clinics, Griffin is well-known in coaching circles as one of the most passionate and creative catching coaches in the country who always delivers terrific drills and ideas for development behind the plate. Listen in as Griffin takes us through leadership development for his catchers, which translates to running the pitching staff, bullpens and even trickles into the dugout and locker room. Also, we could not hang up with Griffin until we emptied out his pockets with great receiving, blocking and arm strength drills as well as combination drills that incorporate all elements of the position and help spice up practice time and catch play. This is a can't-miss episode for catching coaches or anyone interested in learning more about developing behind the dish!

Dan Lyons is a slick fielding veteran shortstop for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. A two- time Atlantic League All-Star and former member of the Washington National organization, Danny holds the distinction of being the only Rawlings Gold Glove winner in the history of the Atlantic League. Prior to his 11 year career in professional baseball, Lyons played college ball for the Iowa Central Tritons and the Minnesota Golden Gophers.  In this candid chat with Tim Flattery and Tom Griffin, Lyons gets "inside baseball" with the story of rooming with Jordan Zimmerman in the minors, the time he tried to hit a home run off of Roger Clemens, and why Justin Morneau is the best former Minnesota Twin to go bowling with.    

Nick Kirk is the fascinating inaugural guest on the Moonlight Graham Show.
