Orestes Destrade has had an interesting life. Born in Cuba, came to Miami when he was 6, and made it to the Major Leagues out of a small college in Florida.
The Big O became a sensation in Japan as a Home Run King and Orestes loved the culture so much that he wants to go back one day and manage a team over there. He also shares some great stories from his career, how he made it in broadcasting at XM and ESPN and is currently in his 11th year as a TV analyst on Tampa Bay Rays games, and so much more.
Also, Rock closes out this episode telling how he was picked to play a part in an upcoming national commercial where no cell phones were allowed on set. Rock loved that!
