About this listen

Hot plate, shattering backboards & being valedictorian of an 8-person class. Small town life for Travis Hafner in North Dakota.

The 12-year pro tells Scott Braun & Erik Kratz about his perseverance as a 31st round draft pick from junior college. He saw the logjam the Texas Rangers had at first base and never. stopped. working.

Hafner also recalls the Midges game against the Yankees and being the tough luck outsider on the All-Star game and numerous first base/DH awards.
