MLB star Ryan Zimmerman and Country music artist Chase Rice “he would play a couple chords and I would sing along and he said ‘you should go be a country singer’ and it was literally the equivalent of ‘you should be an astronaut’ to me”

Country music star Chase Rice opens up about everything from how sports eventually lead him to a career in music to his many experiences including careers as a NASCAR pit crew member and “Survivor” show contestant before he made it big in country music. Chase joins the Players conversation with friend and Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman who stops by to compare notes on life as a pro athlete and his journey to this point. While Rice considers this a new beginning of his life as an artist, Zimmerman is staring at his final years as the face of the Nationals franchise. Both get candid about the ups and downs of “making it” to the height of their respective professions.
