Mike Safo with Bob File, Former Blue Jays Pitcher

Joined today by former MLB pitcher, Bob File. Bob and I chat about yesterday's NFL championship games and then get right into Bob's childhood growing up in Philadelphia. We hear about Bob's first love, baseball and how even though he eventually made it to the Show as a pitcher, he never threw one inning as a High School player. We hear why he choose Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science over Temple University and how him batting an unimaginable .542 in High School and throwing the second game of a double header caught the attention of the Blue Jays scouts. Bob recounts getting the call that he was drafted and why, even though he was a 19th round pick he still held out. He shares about starting off in Medicine Hat and how he shot through the minors, dominating at every level and why he was walking on the middle of a highway when he got the call he was going up to play for the Blue Jays. Bob tells us about walking into a locker room with Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay, Homer Bush was like. He goes in depth about his legendary 4 inning performance against Jeter, Tino, O'Neill and the Yankees. In one of the funniest baseball stories I’ve heard, Bob File tells us about his homecoming game in Philadelphia, giving up his first home run and the infamous "ejection" story. We talk about Bob's 2nd year injuries, how he mentally dealt with it and when he realized there was life after baseball. Bob shares what it’s like coaching at LaSalle, rejoining the real world and if he's still a fan of the game. From Opie and Anthony stories to what's cooler being in a video game or on a baseball card. All this and much more, catch up with the the former MLB pitcher.
