Siddall reflects on growing up in Windsor, the unexpected Expos tryout, and how a condolence email from Jerry Howarth ignited his broadcast career.
After interviews with Blue Jays personalities Keegan Matheson and Blake Murpy, I had the honour to sit down with Joe Siddall, former MLB catcher and current Sportsnet analyst/broadcaster.
We had a wide-ranging conversation about his life in baseball both as a player and behind the microphone. In the first part of this series, we revisited his early days in Windsor, Ontario, and the unexpected series of events that led him to the broadcast booth.
