I sat down with 3x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion, and 1st AL-Cy Young winning relief pitcher at TD Bank Ballpark, home of the Somerset Patriots. We talked about:

- Coming up through the Red Sox organization

- Baseball legend Ted Williams as a catalyst for learning his most prominent pitch: the slider.

- Entrance songs (Pomp & Circumstance... really?)

- Reflecting on the dominance of Mariano Rivera

- The best pranks he pulled in the clubhouse, and the best prank pulled AGAINST him.

- The legacy of Thurman Munson, his catcher

- Managing the Somerset Patriots,

- How the game of baseball has evolved with respect to the role of the closer.

- Ends with karaoke-style, complete the lyrics of The Eagles
