Ep. 488: Remembering former Astros player and coach Denis Menke (with Astros Broadcaster Jerry Trupiano)

With the passing of former Astros player and hitting coach Denis Menke, Host Robert Land brings in former Astros Broadcaster and KTRH Radio Sports Talk Host Jerry Trupiano to share memories of his relationship with Menke. Trupiano looks at what made Menke such a good hitting coach on those mid 80’s Astro teams and how Menke’s prowess as an All-Star player has been forgotten. Plus, Trupiano shares a story about the late Astro Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, who we also lost this year.  Jerry also tells us about potential Astros free agent pick-up Jackie Bradley.
