Baseball has been given two new voices on the airwaves titled The 6-1-1, an MLB podcast featuring Philadelphia Phillies greats Ryan Howard And Jimmy Rollins.
Featuring National League MVPs Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard, the 6-1-1 podcast is produced by Major League Baseball and is available on MLB.com as well as where all podcasts are found. New episodes will post every two weeks and feature guests both in baseball and from outside of the game. In episode two, which will debut on August 8th, Rollins and Howard interview their former fellow infielder and current MLB Europe ambassador Chase Utley.
The premiere episode features World Series Champion, 4x All Star and Cy Young winner CC Sabathia, speaking about the exciting atmosphere surrounding the 2009 World Series when the Yankees faced the Phillies. “We come up the escalator in the train station in Philly and the whole city was there. It was all Phillies fans screaming and going nuts,” said Sabathia.
Howard anticipates a positive reception from the fans, saying, “We are going to have a lot of fun, just be ourselves and have some great, interesting guests for the fans.”
Howard played 13 seasons as a first baseman with Philadelphia where he hit 382 home runs. Howard was a three-time All-Star, the 2005 NL Rookie of the Year, 2006 NL Most Valuable Player, and a member of the 2008 World Series champion Phillies.
Rollins is a 17-year veteran shortstop who played the majority of his career with the Philadelphia Phillies. Nicknamed “J-Roll,” Rollins collected 2,455 hits in his MLB career, won the NL MVP in 2007, is a 3-time All-Star, won four Gold Gloves, and was a member of the 2008 World Series champion Phillies team.
“We are looking forward to giving current and former players the opportunity to express themselves and share their stories in a different way than they have before,” said Rollins.
