Show Notes

Season 2 kicks off with a familiar name within the sports panorama and this HOF announcer literally needs no introduction. In his 40 plus years in the business, Bob Costas, a 28 time Emmy Award winner and 2018 Ford C. Ford recipient is considered one of the greatest in the field of broadcasting. His name is synonymous with excellence and throughout his illustrious career in the booth, he has interviewed countless athletes, celebrities and sports personalities. Although the late Yankees’ Hall of Fame outfielder Mickey Mantle was his childhood hero, Costas also shared his admiration for another extraordinary ballplayer who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. And it’s why Costas said, “Roberto Clemente continues to be revered” around the world. And finally, he didn’t mince words on why he feels there should be a serious discussion on why Clemente’s iconic number should also join Jackie Robinson as the only uniform numbers to be retired throughout Major League Baseball.
