Plunking A-Rod Then Becoming His Friend – The Josh Towers Story

Ben and Blake kick off the hour with former Jays pitcher Josh Towers who reflects on plunking A-Rod and then eventually becoming his teammate with the Yankees where they won a World Series in 2009. Then, looking back at his time with the Jays, why he loved the city of Toronto, the Rogers Centre and how the team is built through prospects and the buzz that’s been created. Later, a visit from LA Kings President and 2009 Hall of Fame Inductee Luc Robitaille (30:34). He looks at a run by Anze Kopitar for the Selke and Lady Byng, the torrid pace of Connor McDavid and if we will ever see rivalries get physical like the Wings/Avs from years ago. Finally, Bunting vs Keefe and the relationship between coach and player in the heat of battle.
