I was just watching the Weather Network and host Carrie Olver and started wondering whatever happened to her father, Fergie "How About Those Blue Jays" Olver? Even prior to becoming one of the faces of the Blue Jays in the 1980s, Olver was a prominent member of the Toronto sports media covering the Argos and Leafs. His stardom rose in the 1980s along with the Blue Jays as he was one of the greatest promoters of that team during his time as a broadcaster for them. He even co-hosted his own game show during that decade - the classic "Just Like Mom". And then he just disappeared in the mid-1990s. What happened to him? How did he go from being such a large figure in baseball/sports broadcasting in Canada to a complete non-entity? Does anyone know?
