Where Are Your Cleats?
Robb Buzzini and Steve Rannazzisi met coaching Little League baseball together. They are two Dads who love their sons, are passionate about the game of baseball, but are admittedly not experts about how to navigate the world of youth baseball. They hope their expert guests which will include, ex-professional baseball players, current youth coaches, and many more, will give them and their listeners some guidance on how to make the right decisions when it comes to their child’s future in the game. And hopefully everyone will have some fun along the way. The most important thing is to have fun, RIGHT?!
