Episode 10 - Tony Garofalo Interview (Part 2 of 4)

October 24, 2021 • Dr. Joe Brickner/ Cubs' AT Tony Garofalo • Season 1 • Episode 10

Tony Garofalo, who went from a volunteer high school trainer to the head athletic trainer for the Chicago Cubs, continues his "Building with Brick" interview with Dr. Joe Brickner (www.drjoebrickner.com) with Part 2 of 4. In Part 2, Tony talks about:

how he moved from a college student trainer at Benedictine College (KS) to the athletic trainer (AT) for the Cardinals' Sarasota Rookie League team
what and who he experienced at the Cardinals' AA farm club in Arkansas
how he became a candidate for the head trainer job for the Chicago Cubs and how he eventually became the youngest AT in the major leagues
how athletic training has drastically changed over the past few years

If you are a baseball fan, especially if you are a Cardinals or Cubs fan, you will not want to miss this podcast. Tony shares behind the scenes things that only he would know, and how, as a native St. Louisan, he was received back at Busch Stadium when he returned with a Cubs uniform on.

Part 2 of this podcast builds the foundation for the stories Tony will tell in Parts 3 and 4 of his relationships with many players whom the average fan will recognize. A number of these stories are truly inspiring and will restore confidence in the character of some of our athletic heroes.
