Show Notes

Who better to spend New Year's Eve with than the guys from  This Day in Sports? The last episode of 2023 is a great one - lots of really interesting things happened on this day historically. There are great stories about Catfish Hunter, the Soviet Red Army team, the Cleveland Browns' winless season, James Harden and two famous bad weather NFL Playoff games. We also get into a few great reasons why December 31 might have been Mario Lemieux's favourite day of the year.  On top of all that great content,  legendary broadcaster Dan Shulman joins the show. Already a nominee for the Ford Frick Award at the Baseball Hall of Fame, Dan has become beloved on both sides of the border for his work doing both major college basketball and baseball and is the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays here on Sportsnet. Today in our DORK DRAFT he helps us figure out which Jays players we should hang out with. Lots of 'inside baseball' stuff here - Dan tells great stories about what made certain players some of his absolute favourites over his many years in the Jays' broadcast booth.  It's exactly the kind of content you won't get anywhere else.  Join us on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts and like our content on Instagram @thisdayinsports8. Happy New Year!!
