Blake Owen, Black River Wrestling Head Coach

Plus, we were also joined by Black River’s Blake Owen, who coaches both the guys’ and girls’ wrestling programs, as they advanced a couple of individuals to Columbus this week as well.

Carlos Baerga, Former Cleveland Indian

The Nick Abraham Saturday Sports Wrap Up Show on WEOL welcomed in a very special guest this past weekend in the form of Cleveland Indians legend, Carlos Baerga!

Carlos was a part of those magical Tribe teams of the early to mid 90’s and still has fond memories of his playing days in Cleveland.

He joined our Ron Jantz and Rocco Nuosci to relive some of those glory days while sharing his excitement for the current Guardians roster, as Carlos predicts baseball fans in northeast Ohio will have another postseason contender to root for this summer.
