Guests: Blue Jays icons Pat Hentgen and Vernon Wells
With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. putting pen to paper on the second-largest contract in baseball history, one that will keep him with the team until 2039, when he鈥檚 forty years old, and could very well make him the first 鈥淔orever Blue Jay,鈥 we are joined by two of the greatest players in club history. Pat Hentgen, who won 19 games for the 1993 World Series champs and picked up the team鈥檚 first Cy Young award in 1996, was a Blue Jay for 10 years and in the organization for 15. Vernon Wells, who is in the top five of almost every offensive category in the Jays鈥 all-time record book and still holds the team鈥檚 single-season record with 215 hits (2003), spent 12 years with the Jays and was in the organization for 14. They鈥檒l talk about what it means to play in 海角社区官网for a long time, to be stars here, and what the future could hold for Vladdy as a fellow iconic Blue Jay who will rewrite the team鈥檚 record book and may well be headed for Cooperstown by the time he鈥檚 done.
