Mike Safo with Kevin Mench, MLB Veteran

Joined today by former MLB outfielder Kevin Mench. Kevin talks about growing up in Delaware, remaining a loyal fan of the Eagles and Flyers, and why he eventually made Texas home, and why he is trying to convince me to move to the Lone Star State.

We chat about his popular Instagram page, how he became a fan of Bob Marley, hanging out with George W. Bush, and the work he does to support wounded veterans and law enforcement in Texas. Kevin also talks about his former podcast and whether another one could be in the future.

We then talk some baseball and Kevin shares his journey from high school stud to the University of Delaware, reaching the College World Series, and where he was when he received the call that changed his life on draft day. He talks about leaving the Northeast for minor league baseball, getting called up to the majors, and joining a clubhouse filled with dudes like Pudge Rodríguez, Alex Rodriguez, and Michael Young.

Kevin talks about his memorable seven-game home run streak, the challenges of being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, and the experience of living and playing baseball in Japan.

We also get on our soapboxes and talk about the modern game, crapping on analytics, velocity trends, NIL, and some of the changes that have changed baseball. To wrap things up, Kevin talks about having A-Rod's phone number, his insane memorabilia collection, and plenty more stories from the great Kevin Mench

A fun conversation packed with baseball stories, life lessons, and behind-the-scenes moments you won't want to miss.
