One of the all-time greats on the baseball diamond Fred Lynn joins me in this special edition of Next on the Tee.
What stands out about Fred during our conversation is his enthusiasm and optimism…and you know how much I love that. We hear about how he started out as a 4 sports star in college playing football, baseball, basketball, and running track. How he actually started his college career on a football scholarship at USC. He discusses his transition to focusing on baseball as a CF and Pitcher. Helped USC win 3 straight College Baseball World Series. He tells the story about their incredible comeback down 7-0 in the bottom of the 9th to the University of Minnesota, who had Dave Winfield on the mound, and winning 8-7. We also hear about the 1975 World Series, the Red Sox trading him to the Angels, teaching himself how to play golf, the fun he had playing golf with Jim Rice, and the plea to his old college football teammate Lynn Swann to get him on at Augusta National.
Fred was so much fun to talk to. I hope you enjoy this segment as much as I did.
