Listen: Blue Jays Max Scherzer, manager John Schneider and Jose Bautista discuss this team and that magical home run

Guests: Max Scherzer, John Schneider, Jose Bautista   

 

As we await Friday night's opener of the World Series, the first in Toronto in over three decades, we look back at the post-game party after the Blue Jays thrilling win in Game 7 of the American League championship series Monday night.

 

Max Scherzer, never at a loss for energy, nearly blows the decibel meter on our system as he raves about the team he chose because, as he said in January, he wanted to win the World Series, and about his fellow elder statesmen, George Springer, Chris Bassitt and Kevin Gausman (each one at least five years his junior).

 

John Schneider, in his third full season as Jays' manager but his 24^th year in the organization, wells up as he talks about coaches Don Mattingly, Pete Walker and DeMarlo Hale, and wishes the Seattle Mariners a good winter vacation.

And a raspy-voiced Jose Bautista joins us to talk about witnessing Springer's magical home run, as so many of us witnessed his a decade ago.

All that plus the mailbag at [e-mail]!
