I've known Suzie Pinstripe since about 2012. Her passion for baseball and the New York Yankees is like no other. And I just didn't hire her for her sports knowledge. I hired her for her discipline. How did I know she was disciplined you ask? I mean, I barely knew the woman at the time. I know... I know. Well... the reason is simple. I knew she would keep to a schedule... and I knew her passion in the baseball realm was great... but the reason why I knew she'd kick ass for because she was a runner.
Runners... Swimmers... these types of athletes stick to a schedule. They get up earlier than the rest of us. Not just one day, but every day. They know when they need to run, they pay attention to their bodies, they eat at the same time every day, and eat right, and they follow their schedule to a T, every single day of their lives. And I knew, that if I was able to bring her into the BYB family, sharing her daily knowledge on baseball and the New York Yankees... she would also bring that discipline with her, and in turn, that would feed our audience with some of the best stuff you will see on the web when it comes to Yankee writing.
And so here we are. Years later, Suzie Pinstripe is one of my BYB Managing Editors. Spunky, passionate and just a great freaking person. She's not only a family member to BYB... she and Jeana Bellezza-Ochoa are like my family.
Today I wanted to share with you something that BYB has been developing slowly... and it's the BYB Media podcast. We've already interviewed Ty Hensley and my buddy, Al Malafronte of the Break-a-Bat Podcast, but how can I do this if I don't interview the heart and soul of Bleeding Yankee Blue? That's why you are about to hear from Suzie Pinstripe and next week Jeana Bellezza-Ochoa. 2 important people in my life, and 2 important voices when it comes to baseball and the New York Yankees.
I hope you enjoy this interview with one of my favs! Thank you Suzie. Thanks for all you do and thanks for never disappointing me.
You're the best.
