The HOVG Podcast: Larry Young

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen talk with former Major League umpire Larry Young.

Larry tells the boys about his lengthy career behind the plate (and in the field), the mechanics behind throwing someone out of a game, Rickey being Rickey and, believe it or not, how he ended up refereeing the Undertaker-King Kong Bundy match at WrestleMania XI.
