About this episode
Pal Eldredge shares his extraordinary life experiences in sports, coaching, and personal reflections on legacy and giving back.
Pal Eldredge has lived one of Hawaii’s most extraordinary sporting lives — from a three-sport athlete at Punahou and a College World Series competitor at BYU, to decades coaching baseball, scouting for Major League Baseball, and teaching fifth grade to a boy the world would come to know as Barack Obama. Evan Leong sits down with Coach Pal for an unflinching conversation about aging, legacy, physical decline, and what it truly means to give back to the game and the people who shaped you. Pal shares raw and moving reflections on losing his brother and sister, raising daughters he’s fiercely proud of, and why the greatest thing a player could ever say is “I learned a lot from that man.” Watch now to hear the honest truth about a life lived fully — and what really matters when the innings run out.
