Listen now
Description
We had originally planned to head south to Vauxhall Academy of Baseball for their annual banquet and awards last Saturday. Then I ended up catching yet another cold, then Mother Nature dumped a ton of snow on us, rendering us immobile to take in the celebrations. However, we have been able to catch up with a few of the honoured guests from what was, by all accounts, another smashing success. Our Ian Wilson sits down with Wall of Excellence and long-time coach Jim Kotkas for a candid chat about his baseball journey, then we reconnect with Episode #244 guest Brett Getz, who was named this year’s winner of the coveted Reno Lizzi Scholarship. 5:26 - Jim Kotkas 30:53 - Brett Getz
