Summary

This may be my favorite episode yet. Suzyn's story telling is magnificent. We start off talking about calling her first game at Fenway Park, a place whereas a little girl she watched Ted Willaims and Johnny Pesky play. George Steinbrenner had a huge impact on Suzyn's life, and she shares some great insight into the late Yankees owner. Suzyn then talks about the 1989 World Series and how that really had a huge impact on her career. She shares stories about Ricky Henderson and Don Mattingly as well. This is just a fabulous conversation with an iconic New York sportscaster! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
