    Uncle Charlie's favorite- GREGG OLSON's wit is as sharp as his curve ball

    Uncle Charlie's favorite- GREGG OLSON's wit is as sharp as his curve ball

    We have a real treat in store for you as we welcome our guest, Baltimore Oriole (and Arizona Diamondback) great Gregg Olson, to the field! 

    Great's wit is as sharp as the break on his famous curve ball as he tells stories from his nearly perfect early days to his awe-inspiring journey to Birdland the desert.

    We talk about Greg’s American League Rookie of the Year performance in 1989, and his strategy when closing out a no-hitter. But it's not all easy as Gregg talks about dealing with injury and failure, too.

    And Gregg is one serious golfer, so his stories don't stop between the lines; they make it to the links as well.

    Then, get ready to chuckle at the hilarious anecdotes from Gregg's book, "We Got To Play Baseball". So, grab your mitt, put on your cleats, and let's hit this episode out of the park!
