Dave Winfield: George Steinbrenner Feud, Fighting Nolan Ryan, Untold 80s MLB Stories

Dave Winfield sits down with Matt Barnes and Chris Young for an extremely revealing conversation. By every measure, Winfield had one of the greatest careers the game has ever seen. 7-time Gold Glove winner. 3,000 hits. Hall of Famer. Drafted by four leagues in a single year. But the numbers only tell part of the story. For the first time, Winfield opens up about the years behind the stats: a decade of battling George Steinbrenner that made him miserable during his years in New York. He also talks about joy, specifically when he signed with Toronto at 40 years old, playing 156 games, driving in 108 runs and winning the 1992 World Series. Winfield also touches on his upbringing in Minnesota, the most underrated players of his generation, making $15,000 as a rookie, his brawl with Nolan Ryan, and much more.
