Episode The MLB Star Who Became One of Dale Earnhardt’s Closest Friends
Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about his father as he sits down with longtime Earnhardt confidant and former MLB catcher Jody Davis. Jody had an MLB-record setting career as the man behind the plate, spending time with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves before retiring in the early 90s. It was during his time on the Cubs that he’d meet Dale Earnhardt Sr., through a connection with Wrangler Jeans. He’d find himself at the 1986 NASCAR Cup season finale at Atlanta, where coincidently Dale Sr. would win his second championship. The two quickly bonded over their love of the outdoors and made off-season plans in Montgomery, Alabama to go hunting.
Dale Jr. and Jody reminisce about Dale Sr.’s competitive and daring nature. They also discuss the time Jody spent on the road with the famed No. 3-team as an over the wall pit crew member. The conversation also covers Jody’s career through the minor leagues after being drafted as a freshman in college, his memorable seasons with the Cubs, and his post-playing career as a team manager all over the world.
