Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel S29E03 - March 2023
Summary:
Dusty Baker: 73-year-old Dusty Baker has led an extraordinary baseball life. A two-time MLB All-Star during his playing days, Baker's pursuit of an elusive World Series title as a skipper brought him to Houston in 2020 as the Astros sought to stabilize the franchise after being decimated by a sign-stealing scandal. The move worked as Baker became the oldest manager to win a championship in history as the Astros rolled to victory last fall. Correspondent Bryant Gumbel goes one-on-one with one of the game's most admired figures. Producer: Chapman Downes.
Chris Snow: Nearly four years after being given one year to live, Chris Snow is still the assistant general manager of the Calgary Flames, despite being diagnosed with the same form of familial ALS that killed his father, two uncles, and a cousin. Correspondent Jon Frankel reports. Producer: Stephen Lorenzo.
Strongman Brothers: Tom and Luke Stoltman are the World's Strongest Brothers. Tom, the reigning World's Strongest Man, and Luke, Europe's Strongest Man, stand at 6'8 and 6'4 respectively, and weigh nearly 400 pounds each. What makes these Scotsmen remarkable, besides their extraordinary size and strength, is how the sport of weightlifting both fortified their bond and harnessed Tom's struggles with autism to make him the best in the world. Correspondent Mary Carillo reports. Producer: Nisreen Habbal.
