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.

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

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

UCLA Basketball star Travis Reed has made some tough decisions in his life including deciding to play overseas instead of the NBA. Of course, a lot of those decisions worked out well for the 6'8" power forward as he became the league MVP in Holland and the Baltic League Player of the Year. These days, Travis talks about hoops and stays true to his roots as he can be heard on the "Bleav in UCLA" podcast, and on his "An Athlete's Journey" show on You Tube. There he can be

All of this makes him one of the country's most sought after minds regarding the NFL Draft. His discipline and attention to detail crosses over into golf, but is he satisfied
