In celebration of 350 episodes of SportsJam with Doug Doyle, I'm posting some of the best episodes of the past.

In 2008, 1994 Olympic Gold Medalist Oksana Baiul has a great time as one of the first guests of SportsJam with Doug Doyle.

Baiul took time out of her training for a New Jersey ice show to share some great stories. At that time, Baiul had moved to the Garden State.
