On this episode of Parney Time, Parney sits down with former MLB All-Star closer and MLB's all-time save % leader Joe Nathan for an incredible conversation covering one of the most unique careers in baseball history.

Joe reflects on his unlikely path to becoming one of the greatest relief pitchers of his generation, including arriving in the San Francisco Giants organization as an infielder before making the transition to the mound and eventually becoming the Minnesota Twins' all-time saves leader.

The two dive into:
Growing up playing multiple sports and why young athletes should do the same
His college career at Stony Brook and having the baseball field named in his honor
Working as a stock broker, bar back, and golf course employee before reaching the big leagues
The coaches and mentors who helped shape his career
Getting called up to the majors during the Barry Bonds era
First MLB game memories and adjusting to life in the big leagues
Playing on the first-ever Team USA World Baseball Classic roster alongside Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Chipper Jones, Johnny Damon, Torii Hunter, and more
Why that Team USA roster may have been the greatest collection of baseball talent ever assembled
His favorite memories as a member of the Minnesota Twins
Veteran leadership in today's game versus past generations
Kirby Puckett's impact on Minnesota baseball
Funny bullpen stories and memorable mound visits
Joe's incredible memorabilia collection featuring jerseys from Mariano Rivera, Nolan Ryan, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, David Price, Cal Ripken Jr., and more
Tough playoff losses
Rapid-fire questions
