John played with the Boston Red Sox from 1992-2001 and finished his career with the New York Mets in 2002. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 1995, is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and holds the distinction of being the only major-league player to have (in different games) executed an unassisted triple play, hit for the cycle, and hit three home runs in one game. John not only talks about that triple play and hitting for the cycle, but shares his thoughts on the current Red Sox team, the MLB playoff picture, and instant replay in baseball. John played on some great teams in the 90's and had some legendary teammates like Pedro Martinez and Mo Vaughn (who he played with in college at Seton Hall). Sit back, bust open a bag of peanuts or Cracker Jacks, and enjoy some baseball talk with a great Red Sox player and all around awesome guy, John Valentin. 🔥 BIG LOVE TO OUR SPONSOR Couldn’t do this without the beauties who keep the wheels turning.
