Former MLB Pitcher Andy Pettitte
Sports Spectrum's Get in the Game
03/19/21 • 28 min
Andy Pettitte is one of the most accomplished pitchers in recent baseball memory, playing 18 season — 15 with the New York Yankees and three with the Houston Astros.
He won five World Series championships with the Yankees, was a three-time All-Star, led the American League in wins in 1996, and was the 2001 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player. He is the all-time leader in postseason wins with 19. His No. 46 is retired by the Yankees and he's enshrined in their Monument Park.
He shares with Scott how his faith led him through his baseball career and how he had Godly discernment about when to retire and that coming out of retirement to play again was what he needed to do.
He talks about what he's been up to since officially retiring following the 2013 season, how much he's enjoyed coaching his sons, and how his walk with Jesus has grown.
The past few months have been challenging on Pettitte and his wife Laura, mainly due to the fact that she lost both of her parents within hours of each other due to COVID-19. He and his family were also in a bad car accident that left them injured.
"God puts us through trials," he said. "He gives us pain, I believe, so we can use that to help others. That goes back to what you're talking about — serving and trying to figure out what you can do for others. We are in a culture and a world that's so 'promote yourself, think about yourself, whatever you can do to lift yourself up.' That's so far away from what God's Word tells us to do."

Introducing "Get in the Game" with Scott Linebrink
Sports Spectrum's Get in the Game
03/16/21 • 1 min
Hosted by former Major League pitcher Scott Linebrink, Get in the Game is a podcast focusing on what it means to serve others as God has called us to serve.
Launching March 19, 2021
Air Force Pilot Jay Doerfler
Sports Spectrum's Get in the Game
07/02/21 • 40 min
In recognition of July 4, Scott Linebrink brings us a bonus conversation with his friend Jay Doerfler, a United States Air Force pilot, about service, putting others first, and what it means to truly put one's life down for someone else.
Doerfler fought in combat in Afghanistan and shares stories from his experiences about what true service looks like and how he's lived his life both in his work and his faith through the commands of Philippians 2:3-4, which reads, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
He also talks about the similarity between training for combat and being in the Word regularly. "What you devote a lot of your time and attention to, both mentally and physically, becomes what you rely on in the time of need," he said. "So if you're spending that time in the Word and in prayer and in fellowship, when times get tough, that's where you'll go."
This weekend, and always, we honor and thank those who serve in our armed forces.

Homer, Scott & Bryce Drew
Sports Spectrum's Get in the Game
07/13/23 • 44 min
When it comes to the Drews, basketball is in their blood. You’d be hard-pressed to find a family with more years of coaching experience than Homer Drew and his sons, Scott and Bryce.
Homer coached for 41 years at a number of schools, including a long stint at Valparaiso University from 1988-2011, aside from the 2002-03 season when Scott served as head coach. It was there that, in 1998, Homer led the 13th-seeded Crusaders to their first-ever Sweet 16 appearance, a run that included one of the signature moments in NCAA Tournament history when Bryce hit a buzzer-beater to knock off fourth-seeded Ole Miss in the opening round.
Scott spent nine seasons as an assistant at Valparaiso before taking over as head coach and winning the regular-season conference title. He then took over as head coach of Baylor University, where he won the 2021 NCAA championship and has been named the Big 12 Coach of the Year three times.
Homer came out of retirement to return as head coach at Valparaiso until he handed over the job to Bryce in 2011. Bryce remained in that job until becoming the head coach at Vanderbilt University in 2016. He now serves as the head coach at Grand Canyon University, where in 2021 he guided the program to its first Western Athletic Conference regular season and conference championships, and thus its first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Faith has guided all three of them in their coaching careers, and their relationship with Scott Linebrink goes back to the days at Valparaiso. They join Scott this week on “Get in the Game” to reflect on their careers, the joy they get in coaching, and how they try to reflect God in their careers.

09/07/23 • 34 min
One of the most successful hitters of his era, Mark Teixeira played 14 years in the major leagues where he racked up numerous awards and honors and won a World Series in 2009 with the New York Yankees. After starring at Georgia Tech University, Teixeira was drafted No. 5 overall in 2021 by the Texas Rangers, where he played from 2003-2007. After brief stints with the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels, he finished his career with eight years as a member of the Yankees. He was selected to the All-Star Game three times, won five Gold Glove Awards, three Silver Slugger Awards and was both the American League home run and runs batted in leader in 2009. After retiring in 2016, he's focused on spending time with his family in Austin, Texas. He joins Scott Linebrink this week on "Get in the Game" to talk about life after baseball, his charitable efforts that he started during his career and is continuing still, and how his relationship with God is at the center of what he does.
