I love how George doesn’t let his stutter get in the way of interviews, celebration, this video. You can hear his stutter a lot in this video, but he just gets through it and doesn’t make a fuss over it. That’s one of my favorite things about him.

A-Rod is an incredible analyst and interviewer because there are few people on the planet who actually know the game as well as he does. To get the answers he gets you have to know the questions
As a Dodger’s fan I hate to say this, but as a person with a stutter essentially just like his, Id love to say this, George Springer is one of my heroes. Listening to him talk, i hear my own voice. I love this guy so much.

Thanks for your comment. I'm a Cardinals fan, and I learned from Ray Lankford's career that when a player signs a professional contract, he belongs to Baseball. I didn't like Lankford much until I looked up one day and discovered he was a "five-and-ten man" - then my attitude changed. He'd been with St. Louis long enough to be fully vested in the pension plan, and long enough to earn "no-trade" privileges. I pecked all that to say, George Springer belongs to Baseball. You don't have to apologize for admiring a talented individual who had many options yet chose to thrill us as a Big Leaguer.

I can relate so much to how George Springer talks, his confidence truly inspires me to be more confident, what an amazing guy
Im a 15 year old baseball player who stutters and kids have made fun of me on the baseball field because I stutter George Springer inspired me to just block all of the out and just a couple months later I made my scouting profile and am talking to a couple of coaches. So Thank you George Springer for inspiring me if it weren't for you I would have never made it this far

I'm just amazed at how A-Rod conducts an interview. If there are any cue cards, I missed them. He just gets guys to open up and let's them talk. I know George Springer is a major talent, became familiar with him two years ago, but I didn't know he battles stuttering. You could pick it up in the interview, and you could hear him self-correct like the pro he is. What a tremendous role model he is for those plagued with the impairment. A-Rod's schtick will be, "One last question.... " Did you see how he directed one of his cameramen to give us a better view? Do you see how he addresses the camera and seems like he's talking directly to us? The guy's a natural. And so is Springer. Baseball is in good hands....

It's interesting to see Arod know what shots he wants the viewers to see and be decisive enough to tell the cameraman where to go. It could be awkward, but maybe he has seen NBA on TNT or the NFL pregame shows where they deftly handle it as briefly but effectively as possible.
Alex is such a phenomenal analyst, I wonder if he's juicing his brain now... 🤔

jay rosales It depends on the situation. When he first came up, I didn’t realize that he stuttered. I think at that time he spoke really slow so his mouth could catch up with his brain. He’s such a good guy that sometimes I forget he stutters lol
Editor must have been on lunch when this came through to their desk
I don’t even like baseball I just think A Rod is a great interviewer.
a rod is really good at this
He was definitely made for ⚾️ Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Ronnie Lott are Safety’s. That’s what you think of when you think of an NFL Safety. Springer def has the athletic skills & ability to do whatever sport he wanted to and be great @ it but he was meant to play Baseball.

Won a bunch of Gold Gloves, hit over couple hundred homers, played on a bunch of good big league clubs, and made 100’s of millions for the umpteen years he played at a high level. Maybe not Hall of Famer but on the tier right before not bad for a Guy that definitely played the game with a Hall of Fame smile on his face.
Springer didn’t tell him about his love of using cameras, televisions, and garbage cans for sparking the offense.
You know a lot of people say they don’t mind steroids in the game, but it’s nice to see players look like human beings, yeah he’s got some muscle, but check out the highlights from 90’s and early 2000’s baseball, players look like freaks, they can’t even fit into their pants.
