Former Cy Young Award winning Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia and I talk about spring training ball outside the Chain O' Lakes Ballpark facility in Winter Haven, Fla. in March 2006.

Blue Jackets television play-by-play man Jeff Rimer (right) and I had the pleasure of interviewing Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench for a two-segment interview in the summer of 2008.

I had the chance to report from the sidelines for several games on Fox Sports Ohio when working for the Ohio Sports Network doing MAC football and basketball games in 2002 and 2003.
