Episode 84: Former VCU, MLB Pitcher Cla Meredith Talks Life in Baseball, Stories from the Pros & Henrico Firefighting
In this special, extended episode, former VCU, Red Sox, Padres and Orioles pitcher Cla Meredith sat down with me for nearly two hours to talk about his career in Major League Baseball -- the good, the bad, the ugly and plenty of incredible stories from his time in the pros.
I've talked with Cla before in various capacities, but this was the most in-depth chat with him yet. From being drafted by the Red Sox, his first baseball card being wrong and an interaction with Prince Fielder, to his time in San Diego, playing with the Roberts-Markakis-Jones core in Baltimore and deciding to go back to school and eventually became a firefighter in Henrico ... Cla had some awesome stories and went in-depth about his journey as a relief pitcher in this uncensored, no-holds-barred conversation.
