It was a rollercoaster week for the Tampa Bay Rays, culminating with the Major League debut of pitcher Brent Honeywell after three and a half years away and four elbow surgeries. Hear who the right-hander credits in keeping him on course in the nearly 1,300 days between games that counted.
And actor Ellen Adair (@Ellen_Adair), host of the podcast “Take Me In To The Ballgame,” joins Steve to talk about how baseball changed for her in a pandemic, her affection for former Rays outfielder and current Phillies GM Sam Fuld, and what makes a good baseball movie!
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
