Baseball Radio Episode 101
Welcome to the weekly wrap up of all MLB and Australian Baseball news.
First off the boys played their Bowens interview of the week that they had recorded earlier in the day with Australian Coach Jon Deeble. The boys spoke with Jon shortly after the WBC warmup game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Jon gave a run down on what has been happening with the team since the team arrived in Arizona. You can keep up with whats happening in the Aussie camp as Jon has been gracious to keep posting entries in the Baseball Radio Forum under the title “Deebs WBC Diaries” at Baseball Radio National Forum
Next up the boys caught up with recent Oakland Athletics signing, Oliver Box. Oliver is currently a catcher for the Werribee Giants and he mentioned that he signed the contract on his 18th birthday. Signed as a free agent, Oliver will be heading over to the States in early April to start his professional career.
Rounding of the show the boys announced the winner of the 2nd drawing of the Print Factory T-Shirt competition. I’m happy to announce that Rob Printz of the Pakenham Pumas is the winner. Rob is the President of the Pakenham Pumas and speaking on the radio he mentioned that this is a great thing for his club. The club has had its struggles over the past few years but now is on the recovery road with good junior numbers now coming on board. Rob mentioned that T-Shirts will put to good use and they will go to the their T-Ball competition that will be kicking of this year.
