Customer Reviews
Thank you
I had to unfollow DLB show for the way they’ve treated you recently. Your show is clear, concise and fact-based, and I’d rather listen to that style anyway. Thank you David, I’ve been a listener since day 1 of your pod…please don’t change.
David Samson is under appreciated!!
Stumbled upon this podcast trying to get tea on the trevor bauer dilemma & the amount of information ive learned from this man feels illegal. The knowledge a president of an mlb team has is invaluable & if everyone took the time to listen to this man, we’d have less ignorant tweets/fans. As a born & raised NYer, I must say he has opened my eyes to the business side of sports (not just baseball) & also opened my eyes to the whole derek jeter persona. This guy deserves more appreciation… educated, experienced, raw business man!! ANYWAYS I was wondering if you could speak about G’s hit in the face, your experience, procedures, etc! Is there no legal charges if a pitcher intentionally hits & causes serious harm?
Thanks for being you David!
Just Heard South Beach Sessions
So glad to have you on board. After two weeks of NPDS and after hearing the aforementioned SBS, I am extremely torn between your position and Dan's on your introduction. Regardless, I will loyally listen and follow!
