Outside The Chute

Episode 193 - Jimmy Moore

Outside The Chute were lucky enough to sit down with one of the best pitchers to ever play our game, its ASA, ISC and USA Softball Hall of Famer, the one and only, Jimmy Moore.
In the words of Doug Roberts, Jimmy could “hit the dick off a hummingbird”, no word of a lie, he said that in his episode with us!
That just shows you how accurate and deadly he was off the mound during the 80’s and early 90’s.
We talk to Jimmy about getting his start in the game, which believe it or not, was at short and 3rd, his days in the NorWest League, his time with the Seattle Pay n Pak, and so much more.
Jimmy was an absolute pleasure to chat with.  Hopey and I were so pumped he took time out of his schedule to come on and talk ball with us. This was such a great chat.

Episode 186 - Kevin Schellenberg

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with 2007 Canadian Senior Men's Nationals Champ and 2007 ISC World Champ. He is also a 2015 WBSC World Cup Champ and Pan Am Games Gold medalist and freshly named back onto the Canadian Men’s National Team, it’s the one and only, Kevin Schellenberg.
Man, obviously from what I rhymed off there, what a career Skates has had in this game and is still looking to add to that long list of accomplishments.
We talk to Kev about getting his start in the game back in 2000 and within 2 years was invited to National Team camp.  That story actually left me speechless, I still can’t get over it.  We chat about those first Senior Nats and ISC’s, winning the Senior Nats and ISC’s, that epic summer of 2015 and so much more.
What an absolute beauty Skates was to chat with, and we can’t wait to see him help Team Canada this summer in Prince Albert try and bring a gold medal back to the red and white.
