Shawn Tolleson, former @Rangers and @Dodgers pitcher, shares his stories with Chris Davis (retired 1st baseman for @Rangers and @orioles ) and host Steve Van Ooyen (stevenvanooyen.com) on episode 3 of the Crossing Home Plate podcast.
Shawn grew up in Allen, Texas where he was a 4-year letterman at Allen High School and pitched for Team USA after his junior year. He shares how a pop in his elbow in the first game of his senior season led to his first Tommy John Surgery and a college experience at @baylor / @BaylorAthletics .
Shawn explains how his faith anchored his emotions through the toughest times, which included his father's cancer diagnosis at the height of his career in 2015 - the year he finished with the most saves in @MLB after the All-star break.
Shawn is now committed to family life with his wife (who he met in middle school) and children. Shawn has also opened a training facility in Allen, Texas where he hopes to help parents of athletes as well as the athletes themselves.
