On this episode we are joined by Bruce Kern (Bellport 2006). He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 2010 MLB Draft out of St. John's Universitty. After pitching in the minors for 5 seasons, he wound up with the Long Island Ducks before also pitching in Mexico and Taiwan. He just led his team, Lamigo Monkeys to the Championship where he was named the MVP. He discusses the difficulty in transitioning to the Chinese Professional League, where fans sing during the entire game, both teams are given "smokes breaks" after the fifth inning and the players refuse to strike out.
