Jamie Moyer spent 25 years in the big leagues by learning how to compete without overpowering hitters, and in this episode we get the stories behind that remarkable longevity. We talk about the mental chess of pitching, his years in Seattle, the trade to Philadelphia that pulled him back from retirement, and the World Series start he refused to miss even while sick. Moyer also takes us inside his All-Star inning against Jimmy Edmonds, Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds, remembers sharing clubhouses with Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro, Cal Ripken Jr. and Nolan Ryan, and explains why Cliff Lee seemed to have “no heartbeat” in pressure moments. Some of the best moments are the ones only a 25-year veteran can tell: carrying a VHS tape for confidence, digging the World Series pitching rubber out of the mound, getting old-man jokes from Jimmy Rollins, and finally telling a doubter, “I told you I was gonna get to 4,000 innings.” This is baseball history through the eyes of someone who lived across generations of the game.
