Imagine having done just three broadcasts in college. 10 years later, you are calling games for the Milwaukee Brewers in Major League Baseball. You are just 30 years old and you get to work alongside Mr. Baseball and Hall of Fame Radio Broadcaster Bob Uecker ("I Must Be In The Front Row"). That young man is Sacramento's own Jeff Levering.

In today's interview episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard talks baseball with the radio voice of the Milwaukee Brewers Jeff Levering. "What I love about Jeff is this incredible journey he has been on. The stories are endless!." Our conversation hits FOUR areas:

Segment ONE focuses on Jeff's childhood, his time at Jesuit High School that includes some great stories about his baseball coach Joe Potulny, and his time at Chapman University
Segment TWO starts with Jeff's first breakthrough in broadcasting that led to his career in the minor leagues. So many great stories in this segment that includes his dad, picking up a bat in Rancho Cucamonga, to his favorite ballparks and players in the minor leagues.
Segment THREE highlights the move to Major League Baseball, his memorable meeting with Bob Uecker, officially getting the job, his first radio call, and his home run call explanation.
Segment FOUR, Jeff highlights the MLB Ballparks and discusses professional and family life during the Covid Pandemic ... and of course, we finish out with RAPID FIRE.

Here are some of my favorite HIGHLIGHTS ...
1. Getting 'Street Cred' in Rancho Cucamonga
2. Find out which Major League Baseball Ballpark Jeff has not been to in his career.
3. I love asking guests what concert they first attended. Jeff's answer = priceless
4. Great pearls of wisdom for any broadcasters-to-be. You won't want to miss it.

ENJOY THE TALKING STORY!
