Ok, right off of the bat, this is a 51-minute conversation. I only had seven or eight questions for former San Diego Padres utility-and-pinch-hitting extraordinaire, Kurt Bevacqua, and it turned into almost an hour of absolutely fantastic baseball talk.
We talked about everything from his beginnings in the Cincinnati Reds organization, earning his stripes among some of the greatest ballplayers to ever put on an MLB uniform.
He spoke about his time in the Puerto Rican Winter Leagues, as well as other Carribean Winter Leagues he played in, who else was there (more amazing names), and how it helped him stay sharp in the offseason, leading to some of the most productive years of his career.
