This special episode brings you exclusive interviews from the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame Military Classic at historic Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, New York. Join Pete as he does “on-field” interviews with legendary Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers, a dominant closer and a 1992 Hall of Fame inductee, who was an Army Reservist. Rick Monday who was the first overall choice in the inaugural MLB Draft in 1965, culminating in a 19-year career with two All-Star appearances and the 1981 World Series title. But his greatest play came on April 25, 1976, when his rescue of the American flag at Dodger Stadium became a rallying point for the country. Since rescuing the flag, Monday, a U.S. Marine Reservist, has actively employed it in fundraising efforts for veterans and their families. Before debuting for the Cardinals in 2015, Mitch Harris was a standout pitcher at the U.S. Naval Academy. He attained the rank of Lieutenant while serving on active duty for five years, including deployments aboard the USS Ponce and USS Carr. When he returned to baseball and reached the major leagues, he became the first graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy to appear in a game in nearly a century. Together, these three generations of baseball figures share powerful, firsthand stories of serving their country while navigating the high-stakes world of the Major League Baseball. It is a deeply patriotic and inspiring look at the dedication, sacrifice, and unique bonds shared by those who protected both the nation and the game.
