Episode Details

Bryan Baker, a 31-year-old Rays pitcher, is headed to his first All-Star Game — a wild ride for a guy who never expected it, having been drafted by the Rockies and barely surviving his first Spring Training. Once deemed too wild for starters, he found his groove as a reliever, fueled by his athletic background and basketball roots.
