We have another GOAT stepping into the podcasting arena today and he goes by the name of Mike Ploger AKA The DC Don because he runs the sports scene in the Nation's Capital! Join us for episode 4 of Billy GOATS In The Arena where Mike details his experiences working for two of his favorite sports teams, the Nationals and Capitals.

Mike started working for the Nationals back in 2013 as their ballpark host and just a few years later, he landed the coveted arena host position with the Capitals in Washington D.C. He was born and raised in the area and is also a diehard Wizards and Commanders fan as well, always going to games and cheering on his local teams even when he's not being called upon to host. This guy lives for Washington sports and you can tell immediately that he couldn't be more grateful to be a fan of these teams while also playing such a pivotal for two of them.

One of Mike's biggest dreams growing up was to become a sports reporter for a local news station and for a period of time, he was able to live that dream in Toledo, Ohio covering the 2016 Cavaliers championship, Ohio State football and more. However, that dream was cut short and it was completely out of his control, but that unfortunate situation ended up becoming the biggest blessing in disguise because he was then able to find his way in the best way as a host and true face of his sports city.

Along with talking about his experiences working for both the Nationals and Capitals, Mike details how important his family is to him, the great story about how he met his wife, the feelings he has towards his city and of course, the hype surrounding Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders this season. At the end of the interview, Mike also dives into some valuable pieces of information that will surely inspire the kids and basically anyone who chooses to listen to this conversation!

Mike is without a doubt an irreplaceable piece to the operations in Washington and based on what he said, he has no plans of ever leaving! He has been an icon there for over a decade now and everything that he's doing with his teams and communities will only grow more and more. Good looks to The DC Don for joining the program and we are thrilled for you to learn more about his historic ride!
