#44 Mike: Life in the Real Minor Leagues

My guest today is Mike, a Vice-President at Citizens Business Bank. Mike has been involved with finance and banking for more than 25 years. The division he guides today at Citizen’s Bank continues to increase sales dramatically every year under his leadership. But leadership nor banking are our subjects today. No, today we are going jump into Mr. Peabody’s “Way Back Machine.” Surely you remember the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Well, whether or not we are going back to the 1980’s and before when Mike was a baseball player, both in youth ball and in pro ball. What I want to talk about today are the mostly unknown trials of Minor League Baseball. Mike played baseball his entire life, that is, until he didn’t play any more and THAT is what I want to talk about today. This is one man’s story of the kind of life you probably never knew really existed—the journey to professional baseball.   For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life and subscribe to receive weekly an inspirational blog and podcast.
