Carlos Peña, former MLB All Star

The Max Whittle Podcast

Carlos Peña, the former major league first baseman who played for eight teams during his career, is this week's guest on the US Sports Podcast with Max Whittle. Peña, who represented the Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Rangers, Athletics, Astros, Tigers and Royals, talks passionately about his life growing up in the Dominican Republic and how he and his friends adapted a game of cricket to develop their baseball skills. He also discusses his move to the US when he was 12 years of age, his time in Tampa under Joe Maddon, the moment he was stung by an actual ray, his struggles through the minor leagues and his excitement about taking part in the Home Run Derby event in Hyde Park, London on July 4th.
