Episode 17: Buck Martinez

The Scott Mitchell Show

The definition of a baseball lifer and a legend in Toronto Blue Jays circles for many reasons, the man on EP17 needs no introduction.
John Albert Martinez, better known as Buck, sits down for 45 minutes to go over an entire life that’s revolved around the sport of baseball.
From a player to a coach to a broadcaster, Buck talks about everything from how he got into the game to what keeps him going today.
We also talk a little 2024 Blue Jays baseball at the end.
Enjoy!
