A 6 year veteran of Major League Baseball, turned pre and post game host for the Cincinnati Reds on Bally Sports, Sam LeCure certainly has the resume to be a strong guest on The Approach Shot. What we didn't know is that he is also funny, has some hilarious, but also heart breaking stories of his time in MLB and by the end of the show, you'll feel like you made a new friend. We certainly felt that way. Have a listen; this is a great episode.

His meteoric rise is something you'd expect from Hollywood. Boy from Lubbock, TX, goes to Texas Tech near where he grew up. Makes it to the big leagues and explodes onto the scene. His reward? He becomes the team's closer in his second year in the big leagues. He has huge success and in his third year makes the All Star team.The end, right? WRONG! Our hero then struggles with injuries, tries to make it back to the big leagues but his body doesn't cooperate. The thing is; this isn't a

Don't get the wrong idea. The Approach Shot has turned into a religious show. But when Golf and Gospel's Geremy Davis (former collegiate and NFL football player) drops by to talk about his You Tube series "Golf and Gospel" we get into a bunch of intriguing topics; food, football, music, and yes, golf and gospel.Geremy has a great sense of humor and just because he is a "believer" doesn't mean he gets a break on the dreaded 6 pack.

When you think of 13 year MLB veteran, you don't think of a ton of home runs. Nor do you think of a bucket of stolen bases. But as a left handed contact hitter, who hit well and was a great defensive player, Rob carved out a terrific career that got him inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.These days, he plays a lot of golf and is involved with the company that makes and sells the Core Energy Belt, which is being used by both baseball players and golfers alike.

A Major League Baseball All Star for the Milwaukee Brewers, this week's guest LARY SORENSEN is one of those guys whose life is made up of amazing stories. His self deprecating humor is charming and he never acts like a guy who made the climb to being a Major League All Star. Talk about ups and downs in life, Lary has experiences them all and is more than happy to open the book that is his life on this week's episode of The Approach Shot.

“The future is now” is an old football saying attributed to former Redskins coach a George Allen.

Connor has already worked with Bill Raftery, Matt Mullen, Ken Rosenthal and others. His humor and humility are on full display as we talk baseball, football and his golf game.

Batters did not want to see him on the mound. Fans loved his heat! One of the very first to throw 100 mph, he had tremendous success in the majors, when healthy. He is one of only SEVEN pitchers in Major League Baseball HISTORY to ever have back-to-back 45 save seasons (not even the great Mariano Rivera did that).His golf game may not be All Star caliber, but he sure tells great stories of baseball, golf and coming back from injuries.

From his Comedy Central specials to live shows at comedy clubs, corporate gigs and country clubs, when Bil tells a story, you can't help but crack up.

This is Part Two of our conversation with longtime columnist and author JOHN EISENBERG. We talk about his golf game, and he faces (and aces) the dreaded SIX PACK! We talk about his new book, "Rocket Men", which offers an inside look at the Black quarterbacks whose skill and grit transformed the NFL; and some of his other books including "The League", which focuses on the pioneering sportsmen who kept the league alive in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, when its challenges were many

As a kid, I dreamt of going to the biggest sporting events; Super Bowls and World Series games, NBA Finals and the Masters. It all seemed to glamorous and historic. We talk with long time BALTIMORE SUN columnist JOHN EISENBERG about how lucky he was to have covered them all. But he also points out that for columnists, who have to write SOMETHING every day, it's a job, and not an easy one. After almost 30 years with the Sun, John evolved into an amazing author of books like "Rocket Men",

In Part One with Derek Kennard, we talked about Super Bowls, his playing with a severely separated shoulder during the Cowboys Super Bowl win and how he had to be tough to deal with the emotions of winning and losing. Part Two is a slightly softer side. Derek talks about his very personal battle with sleep apnea and how difficult is was to find a proper treatment. He then became a champion for others who are having to deal with this issue. Don't worry, it's not all softer; Derek dominates the 6

Part Two with MLB reliever Mike Adams. Mike's face (and voice) lights up when talking about his grandma's homemade tortillas and even when she ages and is barely able to make them, she somehow manages to. Grandma even sends her tortillas as a care package when Mike is on the road, which he shares with his teammates. We then talk about the first annual Orlando Adams Memorial Golf Tournament, in memory of Mike's Dad. Some of the proceeds from the tournament will go toward establishing a scholarship

When you grow up in the Coastal Bend, it's not an easy path to the Majors. But MIKE ADAMS, with help from a determined father, his grandma's amazing homemade tortillas and natural athletic ability had a 10 year MLB career. Having pitched for the Brewers, Padres, Rangers and Phillies, Mike pitched to an incredible 2.48 lifetime ERA and an even more amazing 1.085 lifetime WHIP. He struck out 408 batters in his career while only walking 126. He also won a World Series game against the Cardinals.

As if being men's figure skating's GOAT wasn't enough, we learned that Scott Hamilton is engaging, funny, driven, uplifting and so much more. His time on the ice certainly doesn't define this man who has had multiple brain cancer diagnoses, voluntarily had brain surgery, and who does so much for the cancer community; neither does cancer define him. What makes Scott Hamilton such a joy is his tirelessly upbeat personality. He says "Every time something bad happened, I realized something good
