This is a special one. On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, the first-ever triple interview! Javier is joined by Taylor Blake Ward to discuss his book "In Search of Millionaires (The Life of a Baseball Gypsy)," along with its subject, scout Bob Fontaine Jr. The three discuss the making of the book, how their partnership came to be, the art of baseball scouting and the dichotomy between old school analysis and analytics, Padres players Bob signed (like Tony Gwynn and Ozzie Smith), and other sports books they took information from. Plus, an out-of-left-field pop culture reference that Javi uses and causes Taylor to combust into laughter! This episode has it all.
