Maybe the music gene was always in Barry Zito. The parents of the former Cy Young award winner and World Series champion both worked for the legendary Nat King Cole when they met.
Now that Zito is retired from the mound, he's taken to the world his parents once lived in and couldn't be happier.
"I think I'm just genuinely more in love now with what I do more than I ever have been," Zito said on NPR's Only A Game on Friday.
Zito released his debut EP "No Secrets" on Jan. 27 of this year.
