  • LIVE: Blue Jays in Buffalo w/ Author Brian Frank!
    Apr 30 2026

    For two unforgettable summers, the Toronto Blue Jays weren't playing North of the Border, they were playing in Western New York!

    This week on the podcast, we are taking a deep dive into the 2020 and 2021 seasons when the Blue Jays were forced to play their home games at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, NY. To help us navigate this incredible chapter of franchise history, we are thrilled to welcome Brian Frank of @HerdChronicles. We will be discussing his new book, Blue Jays in Buffalo: The Story of Two Amazing Summers in the Queen City.

    With the Jays having been stationed just down the I-90 from the Rochester area during that span, Craig, Liz, and Jason are ready to reminisce about having Major League Baseball essentially down the street.

    Brought to you by J. Birdy Baseball Co. Canada's Baseball Brand.

    Pull up a stool in the JBW Bar Room, grab a cold beverage, and bring your best questions for Brian to the live chat!

    In this episode:

    • The logistical chaos and charm of moving an MLB team to Sahlen Field.
    • Standout moments from the "Buffalo Blue Jays" era.
    • Featured Guest: Brian Frank (Herd Chronicles & Author).
