Before he was 13 years old, Todd Frazier already had a baseball resume that would forever
resonate with fans from Toms River, New Jersey, and all parts of the planet. A hero at the Little
League World Series, Frazier proceeded to enjoy a decorated MLB career that included two AllStar Game appearances and a stint in pinstripes. Now a youth coach and a YES Network
broadcast, Frazier chatted with YES colleague and New York Yankees Official Podcast host
Meredith Marakovits about life, memories and his perspective on the 2025 Yankees. Then,
Meredith chats with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about other players that
might thrive behind the microphone. Finally, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum
presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator turns to a remarkable chapter of
some pretty creative sign-stealing from Yankees history.

Season 3, Episode 12: Bernie Williams
If Bernie Williams walked out of the public eye the minute his baseball career ended, he would have more than earned a break. The guy is in Monument Park for a reason, a cornerstone of four Yankees world championship teams. But as he discusses with YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits for this week’s episode of the New York Yankees Official Podcast, retirement has been anything but a break for the Puerto Rico native. Williams is busy as ever working on his music, and in between showing Meredith how to strum a few chords, he discusses the similarities between pursuing baseball and musical greatness, his upcoming concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and the work he does to spread awareness for the disease that took his father’s life nearly 25 years ago. For our second segment, Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz joins Meredith to chat about Bernie and the other beloved Bronx Bombers who returned to the Stadium for Old-Timers’ Day. Finally, Yankees senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the history books to a particularly hilarious chapter, a heist tale mixing some of the greatest Yankees ever with just a hint of espionage. You don’t want to miss this one.

Season 3, Episode 9: 2025 MLB All-Star Game
Every July, the baseball season takes a brief pause to celebrate the titans of the game, while the majority of the players, coaches and staffers around the league enjoy some much-needed time away from the ballpark. But the 2025 MLB All-Star Game was actually a family celebration for the Yankees, as the entire coaching staff, as well as much of the trainers and support staff, got to work on the American League All-Star staff as the defending AL champions. Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz and Yankees chief photographer/senior photography editor Ariele Goldman Hecht were on the ground in Atlanta for the Midsummer Classic, and in this episode, we have selected audio clips from Yankees All-Stars during media day, plus Jon and Arie discuss how they go about covering a massive baseball party that takes so many different forms.
