The Kick is up, the Kick is good!  This week on Superfan Diaries, we snagged a true legend, one of the rarest super-athletes on the planet: Olympic Gold Medalist and Red Sox World Series Champion, Doug Mientkiewicz. Go behind the scenes as Doug shares the emotional, chaotic, and almost unbelievable journey from being a die-hard FSU fan to fielding the final out that officially shattered the 86-year Curse of the Bambino. He reveals the intense draft call that happened outside a rival's office, what it takes to survive 11 MLB seasons, and the hilarious (and sometimes gross) superstitions that haunt the locker rooms. Plus, hear why this Gold Glover is now heading back to school to pursue his passion as a college baseball coach. You won't believe the twists, turns, and championship moments he lived through.
