Sportsnet Radio 590 AM Toronto

Video of the Wallach interview on Sportsnet where is asked about this blog.  The 07:30 mark is where he is asked if you don't want to listen to the whole 8 minutes for a 20 second mention.

Radio Show Reference

That's a screen shot from the Sportsnet webpage earlier today.  They're like the ESPN of Canada.  A tv, radio, and magazine sports empire all collected under one flag.  I don't make a point of posting every time Wallach is in the news.  I'm only posting this, because this blog was mentioned.

Sportsnet previously did a small blurb on this blog in their magazine.  They then had me on as a radio guest with some dude named Jeff Sammut.  Jeff and his cohost/producer people were all very cool, and said nice things on the air after I hung up.

In any event, the Dodgers are making a rare visit to Toronto to play the Blue Jays.  And since Tim Wallach is still (presumably) a bit of a folk hero and sports icon in Canada, he was a guest on Sportsnet radio this morning.   This blog (and myself) were mentioned by name.  Wallach was cool, mentioned he left tickets for me at a recent Dodgers/Rockies game in Denver.  Click the link below to listen, Wallach comes on at the 4:10 mark, and they mention this blog at the 12:04 mark.  You need to look for the screen grab below once you click the link.  It wasn't working earlier, hence the "Corrected."

I learned about this completely out of the blue from a random emailer who heard the segment, looked up this blog, and informed me he will be sending me all of his Wallach's.  Hopefully the rest of the shows audience will be equally pro-active.

Sportsnet Magazine

If you live in Canada, or somewhere they sell this magazine, go ahead and check out the short little blurb they did on this blog in their latest issue.  I for one was not familiar with "Sportsnet."  It's not sold in New Mexico.  I haven't even been able to obtain a copy of this magazine (though they've promised to send one).  I went ahead and bought a digital copy, these are screen shots from it.

Sportsnet got wind of this blog by way of the Baseball Prospectus piece a couple of weeks ago.  They also had me do a brief follow up interview on their radio station Sportsnet 590 AM Toronto.  I spoke with a guy named Jeff Sammut on the air for about 5 minutes.

My only gripe with the magazine write-up is they quote me saying "'em" a lot.  I don't know if that's a regional thing, but it's not a "word" I use.  Maybe they just misunderstood me, I definitely thought they had accents, so I'm sure that cut both ways.  But it's mentioned on the cover, so if I ever do get my hands on the copy, I plan to frame it up nice.
