'30 With Murti' Podcast: Baseball Great, Yankees Coach Tony Pena

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Tony Pena has been on the Yankees' coaching staff since 2006 after a remarkable 18-year career as one of the best catchers in baseball.

Pena was a five-time All-Star and won four Gold Glove Awards. He entered this season ranked sixth all-time in games caught with 1,950.

On this week's "30 With Murti," Pena sits down to discuss his journey from the Dominican Republic to the big leagues. Pena also talks about what it was like to compete against some of the best base-stealers of all-time during the 1980s. And of course, Pena talks about the newest Yankees phenom behind the plate, Gary Sanchez, as well as what it's like to watch his youngest son, Francisco, catch for the Baltimore Orioles.
