On this episode of The Funnville Nine driven by AAA, Richmond Flying Squirrels play-by-play broadcaster Trey Wilson chats about baseball and beer with former major-league pitcher and Center of the Universe Brewing Company co-founder Chris Ray. Ray discusses coming to Virginia to play baseball at the College of William & Mary, breaking into the majors with the Baltimore Orioles, playing for both the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants in the year they faced each other in the World Series and more. They also discuss Ray first taking an interest in brewing in the latter years of his MLB career with the Rangers, Giants and the Seattle Mariners, starting Center of the Universe Brewing in Ashland after his retirement, operating the brewery during the COVID-19 pandemic and the backstory of the relationship between the Flying Squirrels and COTU for the team's original beer, Chin Music, and their new beer, Richmond Rally Cap.
