Summary
Former Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star closer Jason Grilli joins Larry and Jay for Episode 150 of The Larry & Big Man Show. Jason looks back on his baseball journey, from being drafted by the Yankees out of high school to becoming a first-round pick, battling through injuries, and fighting to keep proving himself across a 20-year professional career. He shares the impact his father had on his life, the emotional moment of becoming a Major League Baseball All-Star, and what it meant to share that news with his dad at Wrigley Field. Plus, Jason relives the Pirates’ unforgettable playoff run, the energy of the PNC Park blackout game, his Pearl Jam walkout song, and why Pittsburgh became home. He also talks about Paul Skenes, today’s game, Italian baseball, his Rock and Ball wine project, and the new Franco Harris “Immaculate Champagne.” Sponsored by Henderson Brothers, Rohrich Automotive, and Zerorez Commercial.
