## Resource

In our first collaboration with Sport Magazine & PlayersTV, Andy chats with legendary Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher & broadcaster, Orel Hershiser, right from his Legends Attic in Claremont, CA! Orel discusses the fun-loving nature of the great Fernando Valenzuela, counting Tommy Lasorda's curse words with a pitch clicker, his emergency appendectomy one week before spring training ahead of the '88 season, winning the Sport Magazine World Series MVP in '88 & the wild ceremony that followed in New York, his transition into the booth, tips he received from broadcasting legends Vin Scully & Al Michaels, the longevity of LeBron James, the unprecedented skill of Dodgers two-way star Shoehi Ohtani, the Lakers-Dodgers shared championship years in 1988 & 2020, as well as the genesis of Orel's nickname "The Bulldog", and how that helped him transform on the mound!
