    Episode 11 With Parker Byrd
    Mar 28 2025

    ECU infielder Parker Byrd stopped by today! The summer after committing to play for the Pirates, he was injured, and his right leg was amputated below the knee. He told the story of how he got injured, what he would tell himself if he could go back to after the accident, and then we talked about all things baseball. He told me where his love for the game comes from, why he chose number 16, some Major League players he looks up to, as well as what game days look like as an ECU Pirate.
