0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the Sports Spectrum Minute. |
0:11.4 | I am Jason Romano, and today we look back at a conversation from March of 2020 with two-time gold-glove-winning shortstop, Nick Ahmed, who was on an interview panel, if you |
0:24.0 | will, with Daryl Strawberry, the eight-time MLB All-Star, and a pastor named Rod Hirsten, as they |
0:29.8 | talked about manhood. And in that conversation, Nick Ahmed, who may have not had mentioned yet, |
0:36.1 | a shortstop with the Arizona Diamondbacks and of course a |
0:39.3 | two-time gold Glover. Nick Ahmed has the craziest testimony I think I've ever heard of a person |
0:45.5 | giving his life to Jesus. We've shared this multiple times on this podcast, but I would be remiss if I |
0:52.2 | didn't bring this back. And by the way, if I have Nick |
0:54.8 | Ahmed back on the podcast again, and hopefully we will, I'm going to ask him to share it again, |

1:27.9 | but I realized on the inside I was still empty I was still missing something I didn't really know what |
1:33.3 | it was I just knew I there's got to be something more this can't be it so I started to go to baseball |
1:39.3 | chapel I got invited to go I went you know once in a month and then the next month I think I went |
1:43.6 | twice and over the course the next two or three. I went once in a month, and then the next month I think I went twice. |
1:49.4 | And over the course the next two or three years, I went to some Bible studies on the road, |
1:54.0 | which was super awkward and uncomfortable the first time. I was like, what am I doing here? |
1:57.3 | But I just started to get the word kind of poured into me. |
2:02.4 | I had people around me, kind of showed me how to be a man, you know, in the game of baseball, you know, still love your wife, be a great dad, be a great husband, treat the people |
