Mike Safo with Austin Meadows, Former MLB All-Star

Joined today by former MLB All-Star Austin Meadows . We chat about living in Florida, being a girl dad, fishing, the outdoors, and his new YouTube channel, Boats & Homers. We talk about growing up in Georgia roots, rooting for all those Atlanta teams and why he won't switch allegiances. Austin talks about his baseball journey: the 2013 MLB Draft, his time in the minors, batting injuries, and call that he was going to the show to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates. We talk about the roller coaster from being rookie of the month to being traded to Tampa Bay. We talk about his All-Star appearance, the highs and lows of being a big league and then moving again to Detroit. We chat about his World Series run, the struggles of playing during Covid and when he decided to hang up the cleats. Austin opens up about his mental health struggles and the personal demons that he battled. We talk about the pressure of being on someone's fantasy baseball team, why Austin never cared much about collecting autographs or memorabilia, and what's next for Boats & Homers.

All this and more with the former All-Star
