This podcast, hosted by former athletes Greg Vaughn and James Harris, takes the viewer on an emotional, sometimes turbulent ride through the career and post career of some of your favorite athletes. At the end, maybe you will see that we all have the same problems and joys, no matter what path we took in life.
From Greg Maddux to Robot Umpires: Greg Vaughn & Nick Smur Debate MLB Evolution
In this dynamic episode of Life After Sports, co-hosts Greg Vaughn and James Harris are joined by longtime friend and Northern California’s self-proclaimed finest athlete, Nick Smur. The conversation kicks off with Greg Vaughn sharing an unforgettable experience of facing legendary pitchers like Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson. He discusses the strategic mind of Maddux, contrasting today’s game, where pitchers seem to rely on raw power over tactical precision. Vaughn reflects on his approach at the plate, revealing the importance of focusing on his strengths rather than chasing a pitcher's best throws.
The episode takes an interesting turn as the trio dives into modern baseball’s biggest changes, such as the pitch clock and robot umpires. Vaughn and Smur provide a balanced debate on how the new rules are shaping the game and whether the human element should remain central. They also explore why teams today prioritize analytics over traditional baseball instincts, including the art of small ball and moving runners-a skill Vaughn believes is slowly being lost in the game.
Between insightful anecdotes and friendly banter, this episode provides a nostalgic look at the golden era of baseball and its modern evolution. Vaughn’s reflections on the hard-nosed competition of the past-facing the likes of Pedro Martinez and Roger Clemens-are contrasted with Smur’s modern perspective, sparking intriguing discussions for both die-hard baseball fans and casual listeners alike.
Tune in for a mix of expert analysis, personal stories, and plenty of laughs. Don’t miss Vaughn’s thoughts on robot umpires, the future of baseball, and how he’d coach today’s top talents.

This guy Nick was the bomb, maybe he could try guest hosting.....
I knew this episode was going to be gold! Great show!
She's still a class act!
Great interview you guys!! I love Jackie Joyner-Kersee and what she represents!!! It's so wonderful to let her be candid and truthful about her lifes journey! She is such a wonderful role model with some great advise for the young folks and old folks out here!! Great interview Greg & James. Keep up the good work!! 😎😍
@James Harris where you been friend I miss you 🥰
So much more to come!!!🇺🇸⚾️🎥
This guy was great.
Pinson Strong❤❤❤
I was interviewing him from a Father’s perspective, pure love
I would issue him the weapons when they would go to the Federal reserve. Two 45's and a shotgun to go pick up a half million dollars in a government Plymouth K car. Crazy! He told me there were pallets of cash and that half million dollars was chump money. lol. Another thing he told me is he was the highest paid Ensign in the Navy until David Robinson. It was an honor to serve with him even though standing quarterdeck watch with him while in drydock in Hunters point at midnight was freezing and it sucked.
“But god bless ‘em” 🤣🤣
My mom Dana Fluellen went to Temple with James
We will bring that up to him next podcast!
Yes
We love her Now I watch whenever she plays I watch no other games in my life I don’t care if she was purple WNBA should bow down to her and call her KING
HATERS HATE & its cuz of jealousy and that folks is at any and all levels THEY HATE RICH FOLK CUZ THEY RICH, they HATE THE OWNER OF A $900,000.00 sports car cuz they ain’t got one, they hate the rich kid cuz they ain’t lol😂 HATE FUELS THE WINNERS REGARDLESS OF SKIN COLORS 😱🖕☠️🖕
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Learnt that in school.
Yea they trying hard for her to be their savior nooooope Aja best WNBA PLAYER CC aint even top 5
What are u talking about? CC is single handedly saving the league and getting people to attend and watch the games. IF Aja and those other players were soo good, how come all u ladies were not going to watch the games in person and on TV to support them?
Bonds was a HoF before steroids
Tobias Harris making 40M to hold Embiids hand
People can do whatever they want.
Thank u
Nobody really wants to talk about mjs 3-4 years in the league when he didn’t do much of anything.
Fuck outta here. Caitlin gets rocked by cheap shot when the ball wasn’t in play.
Facts. MJ had to learn & adjust to the existing league later the league had to adjust to him & the game advanced
Im Glad to see you acknowledge her with those legends.
Totally different situation you clowns 🤡 , trying to justify the racism and bullying
Your right, but difference is before CC came into the league nobody really watched the wnba
miss me w the fake beefs and over the top personalities in legacy sports talk lol. THIS is how grown man actually chop it up. subbed.

Time for Uncle Jerry to write a book tell his story.
I remember Jerry on Dodgers and Braves and Greg on Padres and Reds and Brewers,,,you guys need to be involved because there's Black talent that's being held up in Triple-A and baseball scouts won't go to inner city high schools,,I live in Columbus Ohio our city league is full of young men who can play,, MLB signs these Latin kids at 14-16,,,Black kids don't have a chance,,they'd give white college boys preference also over Black high schoolers,,it's a myth baseball is not being played in inner-city,,it is,,baseball hierarchy hasn't changed much since pre-Jackie era,,they use analytics to keep Black kids out ,,I'm 70 I watch Guardians or Reds every night,,,use to go watch BIG RED MACHINE and the Indians in that Big Ass Stadium,,,Jerry you play with some great Dodgers teams Greg I've seen you hit some shots ,,enjoyed the podcast,,please try to get analitics out of the game,,they used to keep Black's out !
