Billings Gazette and 406mtsports.com Senior Sports Writer Mike Scherting
In this episode, host David Graf interviews Billings Gazette and 406mtsports.com senior sports writer Mike Scherting about his experience covering the Pioneer League and the Billings Mustangs. Scherting has been at the Billings Gazette since the summer of 2000 and has spent many Billings summer nights at Cobb Field and Dehler Park. This would have been his 20th summer covering the Billings Mustangs.
Scherting talks about how the Pioneer League has evolved over the past 20 years, his experience going to Mustangs games as a kid, his relationship with former Mustangs manager and MLB All-Star Rick Burleson, and how the loss of the Pioneer League's affiliation with Minor League Baseball would impact the Billings community.
The final episode of the first season of The Pioneer League Podcast features former Great Falls Dodger and 11-year MLB veteran James Loney, and it will be released on Tuesday, July 28th.
