EP 13: Andy Bednar on Raising Big Leaguers, David Bednar's Journey & Family Life

Andy Bednar joins Robby and Uncle Paulie for Episode 13 of Sacred Grounds. The Mars High School teacher and coach, husband of Sue, and father of David, Will, and Danielle Bednar shares what it has been like watching his kids chase big dreams through baseball, softball, rowing, and life. Andy talks about David Bednar's journey from a 35th-round pick to a two-time MLB All-Star, his time with the Pirates, the move to the Yankees, the story behind keeping "Renegade" as his entrance song, and what it feels like as a dad watching your son pitch in the ninth inning. The conversation also dives into Will Bednar's College World Series run at Mississippi State, the grind of minor league baseball, Danielle's path through Louisville athletics, Andy's love for coaching at Mars, Pittsburgh roots, ballpark memories, and the family moments behind the game. From Mars to PNC Park to Yankee Stadium, this episode is a baseball family story from start to finish.
