Brooks and Lucia Pounders join Duffy Chats to share the remarkable journey that took them from Major League Baseball to entrepreneurship, family life, and building one of Orange County's premier indoor baseball and softball training facilities, The Clubhouse OC.
In this conversation, Brooks reflects on his path from a young pitcher with dreams of playing professionally to spending years in the Kansas City Royals organization before earning his call-up to Major League Baseball. Together, Brooks and Lucia discuss the realities of life in professional baseball, how they met, the challenges of balancing a growing family with the demands of an MLB career, and the trades that shaped Brooks' journey both on and off the field. After Brooks' playing career came to an end, they turned their passion for the game into a new mission by founding The Clubhouse OC.
