The HOVG Podcast: Ron Fairly

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by Ron Fairly.

The All-Star outfielder-turned broadcaster-turned author talks to the boys about Ichiro Suzuki’s sudden retirement, Edgar Martinez’s chances at the Hall of Fame, coaching Reggie Jackson, playing alongside Los Angeles Dodger greats Duke Snider and Carl Furillo and the time John Roseboro saved Juan Marichal’s life.
