This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen talk with 2016 Glenn Burke Memorial Courage Award recipient David Denson.
David joins the boys to talk about life in the Minor Leagues with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, that 515-foot home run he hit as a high school senior (which has been seen close to 1.3 million times on YouTube) and, of course, becoming the first active player within a Major League Baseball organization to come out as gay.
