Ted Lilly played for 6 teams spanning over a 15-year MLB career. But did you know that this unassuming lefty from Oakhurst, California barely threw 75mph in his senior year of high school? He was on no MLB teams radar until he turned up the heat at Fresno City College. And well, the rest is history.In this interview, I talked to Lilly about his path to the MLB, how his bulldog mentality played a role in his success, and he has some great stories about Barry Bonds, Lou Pinella, and the famous fight with Blue Jays manager John Gibbons.Go to www.setupman.net and subscribe to our mailing list to become a part of Setup Man Nation and so you never miss a show!
