142. Mark Zubizarreta: Vending at the World Series, Being Part of a Ballpark's Community, & 10+ Years of Friendly Baseball
Mar 14, 2024 Episode 142
Anna DiTommaso

Mark Zubizarreta is a life-long Texas Rangers fan and the founder of Friendly Baseball in North Texas. From his early days selling hot dogs at The Ballpark in Arlington to witnessing his Rangers clinch a World Series title, Mark shares his unique perspective on what makes baseball more than just a game.

Join us as we explore the close-knit community of ballpark staff and season ticket holders, reminisce about the glory days at the old park, and discuss the transition to Globe Life Field. Mark also takes us behind the scenes of Friendly Baseball, a grassroots initiative that brings people together every Monday during the summer for pick-up baseball games. It's a story of friendship, community, and the love of the game that you won't want to miss.
