Don't mind the puns in this one, but we're entering the “home stretch” of 2025 as we discuss how to “level the playing field” for us, as blind Blue Jays fans, when comparing baseball radio broadcast with that done on television on this Monday after the Big Game. This week on Outlook it's a MLB Mixed Bag show as we're joined, virtually, by BF Barry until he can join us in studio soon--to lament the close call in Game Seven of this year's World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. We give a post-series blow-by-blow of watching the games together, the three of us, with Barry's international perspective, along with brother/co-host Brian's info about the father-son connection (Dan and Ben Shulman who broadcast on TV and radio respectively), and a special Radio Western connection to Dan Shulman who used to call Western Mustangs games, and an example of an exciting moment from the final game, using a clip of the radio broadcasters to illustrate the unique playing field levelling for those of us who cannot see the games visually. Shout out to both Ben Shulman and Chris Leroux for calling the games on the radio as it seems the TV broadcasters more often get recognized. Then sister/co-host Kerry shares about her Halloween (first year going trick-or-treating) in a while, alongside learning some sad news about an old classmate, all the while describing using her friend's daughter's plastic sorcerer's staff as white cane for the evening plus the haunted house they walked through, a notion truly scary to Kerry in most circumstances. First episode after clocks went back (a lack of sleep for some of us) as we three are all hyped up with the close call loss, a series so close to being a win for the Jays and for Canada, as emotions run high with Kerry sharing what it's like, looking back at one whole year now since the worst guy for the job got voted back in the Whitehouse - so from one horror to another and the disappointment all across the country, we end with a song from Obama's POV.

Dan serves as the television play-by-play voice of the Blue Jays on Sportsnet, while Ben handles radio duties.As a father-son podcast, we couldn't have asked for better guests. From Princess Bride references to shared Syracuse University memories between Ben and Jeff, this conversation will make you smile and think of your own dad. Aaron Boone naturally takes center stage in several stories — including one memorable playoff press conference where Ben found himself in the spotlight.We also learn the origin of Dan's nickname from his ESPN colleagues, and hear how this father-son duo keeps crossing paths at sporting events around the country.Thank you so much for listening — and happy World Series!
