A special thank you to Edelweiss and ECW Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.Jerry Howarth has been the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays for 36 years. He has covered historic moments, like the rise of the Blue Jays through the 1980s that resulted in back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993, and worked with the best in sports. His remarkable broadcasting career is legendary, evident in the tributes that poured in when he retired this past February.
In this book, Howarth brings together anecdotal stories about baseball, life, family, and work. Baseball fans will enjoy reading about pivotal players such as Dave Stieb, Duane Ward, Roberto Alomar, Joe Carter, the late Roy Halladay, and more recently, John Gibbons, Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, and Canada's own Superman, Kevin Pillar.
Jerry, you are a national treasure and Canadians are so grateful that you chose our country to call home. Congratulations on your broadcasting legacy and your well-deserved retirement. Your kindness, integrity, and impeccable work ethic are evident in these wonderful stories.
Told in short, digestible parts, Howarth delights sports enthusiasts (especially Blue Jays fans) with tales from his time both on and off the field. Hello, Friends! is a must-have for any sports fan.
