Rich was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 1992 MLB draft as a shortstop. He played his first Major League game in 1995 for the San Francisco Giants and ended up playing for them for 9 years. 2001 was a career year for Rich; he collected a National League best 206 hits and a career high 37 home runs and 97 RBIs. He batted .324 that year, collected a Silver Slugger Award, and made the All-Star game. In 2002, he was nominated for the classy Roberto Clemente Award. After 9 years with the Giants, Rich played with the Seattle Mariners, the San Diego Padres, the Cincinnati Reds, and finally, landed back with the Giants to close out his career from 2007-2009. In 2010 Rich was Inducted on the coveted Giants wall of fame.
In this episode, Howard and Rich dig deep into what has given Rich an edge in his career both physically and — more importantly — mentally. Rich shares what enabled him to get to the major league level as well as what motivated him to sustain top level performance. He also shares why he had the best year in his career and why athletes need to know how to relax to perform at their best.
