About Dunedin Blue: Stories from the Year-Round Training Home of Blue Jays Baseball

Dunedin Blue is an independent documentary podcast series exploring the history and year-round relationship between Dunedin, Florida and the Toronto Blue Jays — the only team in Major League Baseball history to train in the same town for its entire existence AND the smallest city in today's Major League Baseball spring training landscape. For nearly half a century, Dunedin has been more than a spring training stop. It's where seasons are born, superstars begin their climb, veterans rebuild, and generations of players, staff, locals, and fans become part of a year-round shared baseball story. Hosted by Stuart Meyer, a Dunedin resident and founder of Dunedin-Based Blue Jays Fans, Dunedin Blue goes beneath the surface of the game to uncover, capture, and preserve the people, memories, moments, and meaning behind baseball's most unique town-and-team relationship. This is the ground-level, living story of Dunedin and Blue Jays baseball past, present, and future. A nation's team and a small Florida town, united in baseball. This is Dunedin Blue.
