Also on this episode we speak with long time Blue Jays fan Norm Marcus, about the impact baseball has had over his 93 years. Norm passed away July 10, but he was kind enough to give us an amazing glimpse of the true human side of sports and the joy it can bring to life.
This week on OTP we catch up with former Blue Jays closer BJ Ryan. BJ came to town on what was, at
the time, the largest contract ever for an MLB closer. Despite 2 solid years including an Allstar
appearance in 2006, BJs time with the Jays was a tumultuous one, that also saw the end of his MLB
career.
We talk with BJ about his whirlwind career, starting off as a lefty specialist and ending up as one of the
most elite closers in the game. We talk about some legendary teammates, some disappointing team
results and a pretty heartbreaking end to his career.
We have a great chat with Homer Bush, about everything from his time on some pretty crazy Blue Jays teams, to his run a rookie with the World Series Champion 98 Yankees.
Homer walks us through some great stuff! We talk everything from baseball fundamentals, to Vladdy and Bo's respective swings. Â Homer also gives some great baseball advice for any young player in a funny and expansive talk that goes all the way from baseball to The Simpsons!
We catch up with former Blue Jay, Josh Roenicke and take a fascinating trip to some of the amazing places Baseball has brought him.
We also meet Marcus Reyes, an exciting young pitcher who is blazing his way through the Jays farm system using a uniquely deceptive delivery coupled with pinpoint accuracy.
