Miscellaneous
Campbell's broadcasting role models include Dodgers play-by-play icon Vin Scully, ESPN commentator Dan Shulman, and Blue Jays radio broadcasters Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth.
The first home run ball that Campbell caught was at the 2004 Major League Baseball All-Star Game off of the bat of David Ortiz, to whom he returned the ball. Campbell was in attendance at the game with then-analyst Warren Sawkiw.
As a fan, Campbell has attended many memorable Blue Jays moments including the triple play on September 5, 1978; Otto Vélez's four home runs in the Jays' double header on May 4, 1980; Devon White's catch in game 3 of the 1992 World Series; Dave Winfield's throw that killed a seagull on August 4, 1983; and Carlos Delgado's four-home run game on September 25, 2003.
In 2008, Campbell was the emcee for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, during which Tony Fernández, Billy Harris, Gladwyn Scott and Peter Widdrington were inducted.
