Brian O’Keefe was a star catcher at Saint Joseph’s University. His success on Hawk Hill led to him getting drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2014. After climbing the minor league ladder for years and switching organizations, he made his Major League Baseball debut and got his first big league hit in 2022 with the Seattle Mariners.

They talk about the amazing 48 hours that included his big league call up, a playoff clinching celebration and his first MLB hit. They also look back at his time with the Hawks and talk about the impact SJU head coach Fritz Hamburg had on his career.
