Jimmy Scott's High & Tight: The Ed Sprague Interview

Ed Sprague (Jr.) is a junior (Jr.) because his dad, Ed Sprague (Sr.), played in the Majors for 8 years, with Oakland, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Milwaukee. I did not know this until I started doing my research for this new Jimmy Scott's Hign & Tight interview. So it was interesting to talk about his life as the son of a big leaguer and how he translates what he learned into being a father himself. We also spent time discussing how Ed went from All-Star in 1999 to role player two years later with the Seattle Mariners, the 2001 team being the one with the best regular season record in the modern and antique eras. And in 2002, Ed was out of the big leagues completely, playing minor league ball in the Texas farm system. How did he deal with these changes? And how did he find himself the head baseball coach at the University of the Pacific? Ed shares everything in this revealing interview, from how he met his Olympian wife (meaning she was a swimmer in the Olympics, not like she's 50-feet tall or something) to how I was wrong about some facts that I brought up to him, thus turning the facts into lies. All of this was recorded for your benefit. So get some Fuze, listen up and enjoy the ride.
