Starkville | 3-time manager of the year Jim Leyland joins us this week in Starkville. He talks about his upcoming induction into the Baseball HOF, his thoughts on the modern game for managers, who were the most special players he managed and much much more. Strange But True: Jose Miranda of the Twins goes nuts and gets 12 straight hits. He was the first player to accomplish this in 71 years. Trivia from John Fisher- This player struck out two members of the 3,000-hit club and then a member of the 500-HR club in the first inning of the All Star game. Who was the pitcher and/or the 3 players that struck out? Follow Jayson on Twitter: @jaysonstFollow Doug on Twitter: @DougGlanville Learn more about your ad choices.
