Welcome to the very first Pig's Eye podcast as we at the St. Paul Saints hope to get this going on a regular basis. In our first crack at this, we got a chance to sit down with Saints closer, Tom Wilhelmsen. A 7-year MLB Veteran, he's accomplished a little bit of everything both on and off the diamond. From his adventures across America and Europe while being out of baseball for four years, to his time spent as a bartender down in Arizona, to his dominance with the Seattle Mariners and much more, we dive headfirst into all. Hopefully you all enjoy the inaugural pod as much as we did creating it. Thanks for tuning in and we look forward to getting back at it soon!

Episode. 1: Tom Wilhelmsen

On Episode 2, we welcome Saints third baseman and catcher Dante Bichette Jr. to this pullulating podcast. We persevere through some technical difficulties and Evan's poor jokes all while learning about a professional whose roots dig deep in the game of baseball. From having to grow up quickly as a 19-year old 1st-round pick in 2011 by the New York Yankees to his off-the-field music aspirations, Dante gives us a look inside his past, present, and future. Hope you enjoy!

Ep. 2: Dante Bichette Jr.

On Episode 3 we feature the Saints FORMER second baseman, Josh Allen as he had his contract purchased by the New York Mets just days after we sat down for this weeks episode. Despite moving into affiliated ball for the first time in his professional career, we felt that Allen's story was too good to go untold. From his upbringing in the small rural town of Fort Meade, FL to going undrafted and joining the police academy before beginning his pro career, the Saints first-quarter of the season MVP has truly taken the road less traveled. He shares plenty of stories for all to enjoy and hopefully will utilize those experiences in the next stage of his career. Hope you enjoy!
