Hello, Friends! Stories from My Life and Blue Jays Baseball is an honest, reflective memoir from the longtime radio voice of the Toronto Blue Jays. For 36 seasons, Jerry Howarth welcomed listeners to a new year of baseball each spring and shared the intensity of pennant races each fall.
Howarth looks back on his journey in the booth, from joining Tom Cheek in 1982 to becoming one half of the beloved "Tom and Jerry" duo that defined Blue Jays broadcasts for more than two decades. He revisits the franchise’s rise in the 1980s and the unforgettable back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993.
Blending personal stories of life, family, and work with vivid memories from the diamond, he offers an inside view of some of the biggest names to wear a Blue Jays uniform, as well as managers and teammates who shaped the team’s culture and success.
