Episode #167: Rene LeRoux, Executive Director of the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame, and Steve Brown, Founder of Uncle Steve’s Shake
Rene LeRoux is an exceptional storyteller and has many to tell. He is the founder and executive director of three New York State Hall of Fame’s, baseball, basketball, and hockey. We had the pleasure of attending the 2022 New York State Baseball Hall of Fame Dinner in Troy, New York, which Rene orchestrated. Rene gives us a look behind the scenes at how the Hall of Fame operates, how its members are chosen, and many other things which make it so special. Rene’s Rolodex must be overflowing with the names of people with whom he has developed relationships and has special stories which as we mentioned he generously shares.

He wants it to be fun and with his artwork and creative names and labels, he is definitely having fun.
