The Best Jays Podcast

I love ATL, the guys know their stuff, and it’s always informative and entertaining.
Good work guys from a Jays fan in Scotland!

My favourite BlueJays show! Along side Baseball Central at Noon of course

Great show. One of the best ways to keep on top of Blue Jays Baseball in the UK. ATL is my listening material to and from the Capital when I travel up for work at weekends. Go Jays 💪🏾

Happy English listener

Have followed the blue jays since first visiting Ontario in 1979 and it is fantastic to have listening options like this to bring the news and opinions that I obviously couldn't for a many years.
