George Falkowski is a Yankee fan from New Jersey who spent a big part of his life in sports broadcasting, including ten years with NESN covering Boston sports. Despite growing up in a household that didn’t root for the Yankees, George found his way to baseball and never looked back.
In this episode, we discuss what George calls “Ballpark Therapy” and why going to a ballpark feels like a much-needed escape from the stresses of life. We also dive into his most powerful baseball memory—the night after Thurman Munson’s tragic death—and how that moment still hits home.
We also hear stories from George's time in the media, his love for minor league ballparks, and what's left on the baseball bucket list.
