Women’s baseball pioneer Laura Hirai joins the boys to talk about growing up an Ichiro fan in Japan, how she ended up as the first ever ball girl for the New York Yankees, being on the field for the 2019 London Series, wearing Brett Gardner’s pants, hanging out with CC Sabathia (along with some royals?) and her current gig as a pitching coach.
