The HOVG Podcast: Greg Pryor

podcast - greg pryor

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen talk with the only player in baseball to have participated in both Disco Demolition Night and the Pine Tar Incident, Greg Pryor.

From George Brett selling the pine tar bat to Gaylord Perry making t-shirts commemorating the event, Greg joins the boys to “celebrate” the 33rd anniversary of the Pine Tar Incident and to take them behind-the-scenes and onto the field with stories from the legendary game.
