    One of the great baseball minds, and now a published (soon to be best selling) author, Clint Hurdle covers his 45 years in baseball in one hour on this episode of The Approach Shot
    Feb 16 2025

    Named Sporting News Manager of the Year with the Pirates, CLINT HURDLE took a team, its loyal Pittsburgh fan base and energized them enough to make the playoffs. This is a team that struggled for almost two decades.

    You start as a manager in the Mets organization and work, and work, and work your way up through the minors until you catch on with Colorado and their hitting coach. The rest, including the fire, the passion and the love for the game, is well documented.

    Now, his quips, daily motivational thoughts and his wisdom are captured in his new book HURDLE-ISMS, which is now on sale. And we have the joy of talking about it all on this episode of The Approach Shot.
