Mike Safo with Slade Heathcott

Joined today by former 1st round draft pick by the NY Yankees Slade Heathcott. Slade calls into the show from his team bus and tells us about his extremely difficult childhood, from dealing with his father being in and out of prison to eventually having to protect his mother by pulling a shotgun on his father. We hear how he found out he was selected by the Bronx Bombers and takes us through his journey getting called up to the big show and walking into the Yankees locker room for the first time. Slade is extremely vocal about minor league pay and we hear the shocking truth on how much they actually get paid, their brutal travel schedule, and what needs to be done to correct it. From yoga to which3 players he asked for their autographs. The MLB veteran tells us his plans for after his baseball days are over.
