Synopsis

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-read for sports fans everywhere.

I was so excited to get an early copy of Dulce Sloan’s book, because she is hilarious and I always want more of her comedy. That being said, while she is a brilliant comic, she is not a great writer. The book itself often felt disjointed and draggy, and often without a through line of one section to......more

Goodreads review by Leeann on April 27, 2024

Sweet and funny and sad and honest - everything I’d expected from Dulce. I wish so much we had an audiobook because while I heard her voice throughout I think a lot of the jokes and stories would be even funnier with her tone and pacing. It’s written how she talks, jumping to different places with l......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on February 07, 2024

Hello, Friends! is a candid memoir of Dulce Sloan's journey on her winding and under-appreciated road to success, and the hustle and hard work she had to put in to get where she is today! Her comedic talent for storytelling kept me captivated throughout, even when diving into strange and real topics......more
