À propos de cet audio
An honest memoir about life, family, and baseball from the longtime, legendary Toronto Blue Jays radio broadcaster
For 36 years, Jerry Howarth ushered in eternal hope each spring and thrived in the drive of each fall as the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1982, the lifelong avid sports fan joined Tom Cheek as full-time play-by-play radio announcer for the Blue Jays, and for the next 23 years, “Tom and Jerry” were the voices of the franchise.
Jerry became part of the fabric of a nation and a team, covering historic moments like the rise of the Blue Jays through the 1980s that culminated in back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993. His Hall of Fame-worthy broadcasting career has been nothing short of legendary. When Jerry retired in February 2018, the tributes poured in and made one thing perfectly clear: Toronto baseball would never be the same.
Howarth brings together thoughts on life, family, work, and baseball. Featuring stories about everyone from Dave Stieb, Jack Morris, Duane Ward, Roberto Alomar, and Joe Carter to John Gibbons, Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, and the late Roy Halladay, Hello, Friends! is a must-listen for sports fans everywhere.

“Howarth’s book will entertain baseball aficionados and especially delight Blue Jays fans.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Jerry Howarth is a Canadian national treasure and his story is tremendously inspiring. As joyful a person as I've ever met, Jerry made friends with millions of baseball fans during his long career and brought his warmth, humor, insights and descriptions into their living rooms. Readers of his story will have a further opportunity to revel in his positive outlook on life as well as countless fascinating memories.” (Eric Nadel, Texas Rangers radio broadcaster)
“Whether it was Blue Jays closer Tom Henke saying ‘Hellllllo, friends!’ when Jerry Howarth walked down the aisle on a team charter, an opposing player near the batting cage, or a 12-year-old self-broadcasting his sandlot game to his buddies, ‘Hello, friends!’ became Howarth’s trade mark. In fact, the two words are greeted with the same warmth and familiarity from coast to coast in Canada.” (Bob Elliott, sports journalist)

One of those books you don’t want to finish
Well written and well read. Jerry is a great story teller and incredibly positive. If was fun listening to him talk about his life as well as the nearly four decades of Blue Jays baseball he called on the radio.

Blue Jay Fans must listen to this
Jerry was one half of the famous Tom and Jerry who broadcasted Blue Jay games on the radio for almost 40 years. I remember listening to the games with my father in the car and brought back so many memories. A walk down memory lane with highlights, names and stories over his illustrious career. Highly recommended.

It's Jerry
Here's the man who taught me English when I immigrated to Canada. I'm sure the written version of the book is great, but audiobooks were made for books like this. Thanks for sharing your story, Jerry!

A wonderful listen.
As a longtime Blue Jays fan, I grew up listening to Tom and Jerry calling games on the radio. We had horses so I spent a lot of time in the stable but could still “see” the games thanks to their excellent description of what was happening on the field. Jerry’s anecdotes in this book allowed me to see players, managers, and coaches in a whole new light. I highly recommend this audio book to all Blue Jays fans!

Love listening to you Jerry
As much as I love listening to Jerry call ball games this book was just too dry for me. Jerry seems to be the all around good guy, but...
Baseball is not filled with all good guys and good stories. Needed to hear more in depth of the real baseball world. Not the rainbows and butterflies and everyone is a fantastic person.
