Jays Journal Podcast - June 28. "Todd Stottlemyre, Relentlessly Candid."

We're thrilled to have former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher and 3-time World Series champion, Todd Stottlemyre (@ToddStottlemyre), join host Ari Shapiro in an evening of baseball repartee and introspective reflection. Tune in as we discuss:

The fleeting nature of fame and the vanishing spotlight (2:20); on being recognized in Toronto and how Canada's adoration of the glory years remains inspirational to him (4:45); will the team be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? (6:15); thoughts about the wild card (9:01); memorabilia and memories in his den (11:40); his thoughts on the 12-24 start in 1989 and how Cito Gaston's leadership turned the ship around (18:25); a look back at AL East competition during his era (21:29); remembering the brilliant Tony Gwynn and his exquisite brand of hitting (26:30); the origins of his recently published book (33:01); is MLB doing enough to help athletes after they retire (37:45); loopy salaries, frivolous free agency, and player regression (49:20); the value of heart and an indomitable will - his short list of clubhouse leaders (53:05); Dave Stewart and pitching intimidation (55:07); how to handle a bad case of the yips (58:50); and why 300 career wins is now a pipe dream (61:10).
