Episode 110: The Best of Times on the Worst of Teams
from Alberta Dugout Stories: The Podcast · host Alberta Dugout Stories
You know things are bad when the veteran of your team says “hey boss, this team sucks balls.” You also know things are bad when the general manager literally camps out on the field until his team snaps a dreadful losing streak. And you know things are bad when that story specifically not only garners local headlines and news coverage, but goes national and even makes it to the Los Angeles Times and almost to the popular Late Night with David Letterman. But that’s exactly the situation the Medicine Hat Blue Jays found themselves in 1988. We chat with rookie GM Dean Linden about the publicity stunt, but also about how he ended up "getting the keys" to the team and more. And read more on this story on our website.
