Baseball Isn’t Boring

Few in the world know what it is like to be the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball Draft. Two who do are Royce Lewis of the Twins and the Angels' Mickey Moniak. Bradfo catches up with both of them to talk about their journeys, reflecting on what was, what is and what might be. There is a lot of great advice and perspective along the way. It's a great way to start the week.

It's a 30-minute wild ride.
