Lenn Sakata joins us on the podcast this week. Lenn was the 2nd Asian American to play Major League Baseball and his career spanned from 1977-1987. He was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers but played most of his career with the Baltimore Orioles. He was instrumental in the 1983 regular season which led to the Orioles World Series win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Lenn could play multiple positions in the infield and even caught in a game that went extra innings. He started out in the Brewers organization and had to compete with the likes of Jim Gantner, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. In the Orioles organization, he competed with Rich Dauer and Cal Ripken, Jr. We take the time machine back to the late 1970s through the late 1980s, Back When There Was Baseball, with our guest Lenn Sakata.
