Episode 38 -- Josh Whetzel

Josh Whetzel has spent 25 years broadcasting baseball games in the minor leagues, from Albany to Kinston to Binghamton and at Triple-A Rochester since 2003. He also calls games for the University of Buffalo men's basketball team and was named Broadcaster of the Year in 2015 by Baseball Digest.

And his career was launched due to a serious illness as a teen-ager.

On Episode 38 of the Life Around the Seams podcast, Whetzel explains the turn of events that led him from the hospital to Dodger Stadium to a small radio station in Kansas and eventually inside press boxes throughout the country. We also discuss his MLB debut when Mariano Rivera made history, and talk about some of his memories from three decades working in baseball.
