Says Who Sports with John Dauphin

Mike Hargrove, former MLB manager who led the Cleveland Indians to two World Series appearances, shares his thoughts about a variety of topics, including the electric atmosphere at Jacobs Field in the mid-to-late 90s, the confidence and swagger of those powerhouse Indians teams, the heartache of an extra-innings loss to the Florida Marlins in Game 7 of the '97 World Series and his experiences in the hours immediately after that game, his approach to managing (including the fine line between becoming friendly with players and maintaining necessary distance), what he learned about managing from Billy Martin, the team's name change from Indians to Guardians in '22, the most talented player he ever managed, the current state of Major League Baseball (including analytics and rules changes) and much more.
