The HOVG Podcast: Kevin Mitchell

This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by 1989 National League MVP Kevin Mitchell.

Kevin tells the boys about playing for (and partying with) the 1986 World Champion New York Mets, the friendships he made during his playing career, the worst decision he ever made, the best hitter he’s ever played against and battling back from paralysis.

True story.
