Lauren Shehadi is one of the most recognizable voices covering Major League Baseball. The host and reporter has loved the sport since her Little League days, and now she gets to be a part of it at the professional level. Lauren is a co-host of 'MLB Central' on the MLB Network among other sports assignments (think: on-field during MLB post-season, March Madness, etc!) Earlier this year she was hired for Netflix's MLB coverage as their in-game reporter, giving her the opportunity to cover the MLB at Field of Dreams Game on Thursday, August 13th. Today we dive in to:

• Her genuine excitement to cover the MLB at Field of Dreams Game for Netflix
• Balancing the entertainment and nostalgia of the game with the stakes of a regular season matchup between the Phillies and Twins
• How her humble beginnings in the industry prepared her for this moment
• Why thorough prep work helps her gameday confidence & ability to roll with the inevitable unpredictability of sports
• "Blessing in the breaking"
