Ozark Mountain Ducks center fielder Jared Braschler ranks third all time in base hits across six seasons of Grip 'N Rip Baseball. When he isn't tracking fly balls and driving doubles, Braschler is flying airplanes.

The commercial pilot takes us through an aviation career that began with humble airport baggage handling (and the unusual animal encounters that go with it) and carries on today in the cockpit of the Boeing 737.

Rance asks several years worth of pent up questions he has always wanted to ask an airline pilot but previously never had the opportunity to ask. Be warned, it gets a little bit weird, but Jared Braschler is a good sport.
