J.T. Snow joins us for an all-timer of a conversation that blends baseball craft, World Series pressure, and a moment that became bigger than the game. A six-time Gold Glove first baseman with the Yankees, Angels, and Giants, Snow walks us through the 2002 World Series sequence that ended with him scooping up Darren Baker at home plate, then explains how that split-second decision looked and felt from 90 feet away. We also dig into his years alongside Barry Bonds, sharing how elite preparation, approach, and in-game adjustments shaped a clubhouse and a city. From growing up around the Rams with his father, Jack, to college days with future stars like Kenny Lofton, Snow’s stories pull back the curtain on the players, the pressure, and the tiny details that win innings. If you love baseball history, inside-the-dugout perspective, and legacy moments, this one is for you. Subscribe, rate, and share with your favorite Giants fan.
