On this episode of The Gallop, the boys talk with the legendary Joe Yorke. He talks about cultivating a hard-working culture within a team, how his first college cancelled their baseball program, and how the Los Angeles Angels messed up the Shohei Ohtani situation.
Yorke is the fan-favorite senior first baseman who is Cal Poly's all-time career RBI leader, a feat he reached this season. During his time as a Mustang, Yorke has a career .297 batting average, 174 RBIs, and 44 doubles.
