Robin Meade: Connecting with Viewers & Pitches

Robin Meade getting some batting tips from Indians outfielder Dave Dellucci.


Cleveland Indians fan and HLN anchor Robin Meade isn’t playing around. The Morning Express anchor got some on-the-field time during the Braves-Indians exhibition game Saturday at Turner field. She even kept Indians pitching coach Carl Willis running. “[A]fter throwing to all the guys to try to let off a little bit, I lost it. She’s an intimidating figure at the plate.”

She also got some tips from Dave Dellucci. “David was a really great coach,” Meade said. “I don’t do any sports, so I thought I was going to make a complete fool of myself doing this. But I connected on a lot of them.”

The visit to the ballpark will be featured in an upcoming Morning Express podcast.
