In this week’s edition of “Conversations with Clayton,” I interview former Milwaukee Brewers standout Don August. August pitched for the Brewers from 1988 through 1991. In his rookie season, he posted 13 wins and a 3.09 ERA, which earned him a fourth place finish in 1988 AL Rookie of the Year voting. August earned a silver medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics as a member of the USA Baseball Team. He also starred for several seasons in the Mexican League during the mid 1990s.
In our interview, Don discusses his MLB career, his experiences at the Los Angeles Summer Olympics, harrowing travel stories from the minor leagues and his time in the Mexican League.
