    Our guest's story is one of relentlessness and optimism, worthy of a movie or book. It's the story of major league baseball dreams that first came true in 2008, when he got called up by the padres to serve as a fill-in for an injured player. He played in 19 games, starting in 11, and hitting .205. Like any professional player, he hoped to stay there. But instead, in 2009, he was back in the minors.

    But even as he was stuck in the minors, he said that month and a half in the majors were the greatest days of his life and part of why he was still going into his 30s.

    In 2019, he re-signed a minor league deal with Atlanta, and had one of his best seasons. Then the coronavirus pandemic struck in 2020 and the minor league season was cancelled. After an absence of 12 years 6 months and 25 days he was back playing in a major league ballpark. Rudy say hello to Atlanta brave, Sean Kazmar, Jr.

    Learn how to find a "win" in loss! Mar 22, 2021
    Show notes

    Our theme today is about finding a win in a loss. Our guest today is the former WBO world heavyweight boxing champion. In his book Rocky Lives, David E. Finger called our former champ, who also happens to be the winner of four New York City Golden Gloves titles and five U.S. Amateur titles, and former captain of the US National Boxing team, "the most accomplished boxer in the history of American amateur boxing never to have made the US Olympic Boxing Team."

    After retiring from boxing, he studied journalism and acting. A few years later, he wrote "Anatomy of a Knockout" for Bert Sugar's Fight Game magazine. The essay helped lead the former boxer to the coveted role of Charles 'Sonny' Liston in the movie Ali, starring Will Smith.

    In addition to Will Smith, as an actor, he's worked with such greats as Academy Award winners Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone.

    He is the subject of the premier episode of "Losers," an eight-episode docu-series that brings context and humanity to failure in and around sports. Say hello to the champion, Michael Bentt.
