This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by master storyteller Andy Strasberg.
The former San Diego Padres executive tells the boys about that time he filled in for his buddy Ted Giannoulis (chicken costume and all), backflipping into the Hall of Fame with Ozzie Smith, his relationship with the late-Roger Maris, working on the Billy Crystal movie “61*” and getting Tony Gwynn his first TV commercial.
