I can relate. Growing up I would listen to Jerry Howarth call the Blue Jays games on the radio on long summer drives, with my friends at the park, or just on my clock radio with the \u201cSleep\u201d timer on as I fell asleep.  Why do I love Jerry?  Because for thirty-six years he was a local leader and community-builder who created trust with millions of baseball fans\u2026  So I was thrilled to visit the Skydome in downtown Toronto to sit down with Jerry Howarth in this classic chapter of 3 Books.  Join me and Jerry to watch batting practice just before the game begins as we discuss how to build a community, developing authentic connections, the art of being objective, how to coach leaders, and, of course, Jerry's 3 most formative books...  GO JAYS GO!   Let's flip the page back to Chapter 30 now...
