Inside the Mind of an MLB Executive | The Chazz Palminteri Show | Ep. 265

Описание: In this episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show I sit down with my friend Omar Minaya. One of the most respected executives in Major League Baseball history.

Omar made history as the first Latino General Manager in MLB when he became GM of the New York Mets. But his story goes way beyond baseball. We talk about leadership, resilience, pressure, building winning teams, growing up in Queens, Dominican roots and what it really takes to succeed at the highest level of professional sports.

This conversation isn’t just about baseball, it’s about life, character, culture and earning respect the hard way.
