Out of all the interviews you have done that I listened too, this one was my favorite. I didn’t really follow baseball growing up, but I totally remember the time period that Mickey played in. I was in high school at that time. I remember the the home run battle between Sosa and Mark. Just fun to hear his stories about playing ball in general and especially during that time period. Mickey presented himself so professionally- I could listen to the two of you talk all day. Also I loved that he and wife are celebrating 30 years of marriage. Now that is an accomplishment. So very cool. Great interview.

@@ChrisContra Your welcome! It was a great interview.
The RockStop Interview with Chris Contra is great, informative
Great Interview, I was in high school when that Phillies team went to that World Series with Morandini, John Kruk, Curt Schilling, Lenny Dykstra, Mitch Williams, and the late Darren Daulton. Williams despite having 46 saves blew two games in that World Series, Game 4 the 15-14 loss and the walk off homer to Joe Carter in Game 6. A decade later Curt Schilling would lead my Red Sox to their first title in 86 years in 2004.
Great interview Chris! I like your interviewing style, you let your guest speak without interrupting which keeps the flow real nice and smooth.
Oh, this was soooooo wonderful, dear Chris! I love baseball and this was a welcome moment in the long absence of baseball from our daily lives. Fine fine interview, dear friend!
This was so awesome! I loved the baseball interview, loved getting to hear about the playoffs and World Series!
Great interview Chris. I’m originally from Philly and my dad took me and my brother to the 93 World Series against Toronto. I’ll never forget the game we saw. It was a crazy game... Phillies lost 15-13 but it was back and forth the whole game. Left you a like my friend

Hi Chris, great interview of Mickey Morandini here. Now I know more about Mickey. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and blessed new year my friend.
I love that you interview so many different types of people! I loved his World Series story and that they all had mullets at the time haha!
He'll! Chris Contra. A wonderful interview. Really enjoyed. Very big like. 👍🏼 Happy Holidays! ⛄💖🎄😊
I remember him!
It was a great time to listen to Mickey's wonderful experience. It's a great interview as always.
Chris you have a photographic memory to remember games back in the 90's. Mickey was excited talking about his baseball career. It's interesting to hear how baseball is different than it used to be. It's a much harder game now. It's true how records won't be broken to reflect this. I learned a lot! In high school I used to manage my state championship team! I also used to announce for games in the summertime.
Interesting to hear this chris dont know much about baseball but he sounds like a great player... triple play sounds amazing
Wow! Great guest appearance and fun! You are awesome in all your interviews and always know what to ask! I also like your encouragement and support to Mickey, such a wonderful interview! Happy New Year!!! Hope you are doing well and enjoy the holidays. Much love ;)
I remember Mickey and the 90's Phillies. Being a Mets fan i saw them alot as they are in the same division... Great interview Chris and Happy New year!
