Maybe what meant most over the years were the number of Maritimers and those of Middle Eastern descent who would stop to tell me they appreciated how I represented them when they'd see me on air. The biggest lessons I've learned here: You never know the impact you can have on those around you," Madani wrote.Sportsnet's Jamie Campbell, who worked with Madani frequently on Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts, was one of the first to post a tribute to his departing colleague."Unparalleled in his craft and a top-...
