If you vacation in Canada and want to have people buy you a Molson, mention Ernie Whitt's name. He is practically royalty in Canada, a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and a beloved All Star catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays.
In fact, he was the last "original" member of the Jays, having been drafted by the Red Sox, but the Blue Jays took him in the expansion draft, as he was the anchor of the team for a decade. His power at the plate and his defensive prowess behind the plate made him one of MLB's great players from 1975-1991.
And man, does he love talking golf!
Ernie Whitt is our guest on this week's episode of The Approach Shot.

What a way to wrap up 2024! Nothing like having a conversation with a member of the 1986 Miracle Mets and a WORLD SERIES CHAMPION.
WALLY BACKMAN is our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot and yes, he was part of the team that broke the Red Sox faithful's hearts. He too, watched Mookie Wilson's ball go under Bill Buckner's glove, but has a different perspective on that play and others.
He also gave back so much to the game he loves by managing in the Minor Leagues and was able to impart wisdom and fire in his players. That love and fire also exist in his golf game and we enjoyed every second of our conversation with WALLY BACKMAN!
Have a listen!

Dashing and Handsome? CHECK!
Sharp witted? HECK YEAH!
A great friend to Wells Adams and Joey Graziadei? YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Happily married? UH HUH.
Golf nut? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

BEN HIGGINS is all of those things plus an amazing business man who runs a coffee business whose proceeds helps other non profits around the world. He's also a hilarious and great guest and we have him on this week's episode of The Approach Shot.

This is a must listen for BACHELOR NATION and even non fans of The Bachelor (gasp!)
