Season 3, Episode 21: Homer Bush

What’s the old commercial? “With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good?” Well, with a name like Homer, you’ve basically got to be a baseball player. And years after he retired, Homer Bush is still living out the fantasy that saw him smack in the middle of the action for the 1998 Yankees, one of the greatest teams of all time. The always-happy alum is still showing up at Old-Timers’ Day and as a coach during Yankees fantasy camps, and he sat down with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits to discuss his memories of 1998, his own trajectory in the game and the stress that comes with watching your own son (Rays prosect Homer Jr.) chase his own dreams. Then, Meredith is joined by Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for a chat about Carlos Beltrán’s Hall of Fame prospects, and the excitement that comes with covering the all-time greats. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards turns to a chapter about longtime Yankees coach Jim Turner.
