  1. A Season Like None Other

    A Season Like None Other

    Without question, the 2020 MLB season was the strangest in baseball history: a pandemic, a shortened schedule, new rules, a team without a home and, in the end, an historic World Series win. On the season finale of A Swing and a Belt, Dan takes listeners through a campaign like none other. This season of the podcast was produced and sound designed by Christian Ryan. Amil Delic helped with episodic production and general awesomeness. Thanks to all our guests as well as everyone from Sportsnet and beyond who helped gather archival sound for episodes, we couldn’t have done it without you.  Audio Credits: YouTube.com/CBSSportsHQ; YouTube.com/ESPN; YouTube.com/MLB; Sportsnet; YouTube.com/FOXSportsSun The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.

    The World Series is upon us, with the top seeds representing the American and National Leagues.

    Armed For The Future

    Pete Walker is the pitching coach for the Toronto Blue Jays. And in this strange and unprecedented 2020 season, he worked with 28 pitchers across a 60-game campaign that resulted in a postseason berth. A handful with little or no previous Major League experience definitely left an impression. Walker takes listeners through the roles those youngsters will play in 2021 and beyond.
