Sandy didn't play for the Jays-Roberto Alomar spent his best years with the Jays & is the only Jay in the HOF wearing a Blue Jay hat. Roberto is still the smartest baseball player I have seen in 50 years of watching baseball.

Who is the only Toronto Blue Jay to win the AL MVP award?

The Canadian in me is coming out-Jason Bay. It was 2003 or 04.

Francona?

Is there a minimum number of games? If no minimum, I'd say John Farrell with the Red Sox.

Awesome trailer-it's like she's been doing porn for years. :)

We have a winner!!! He tried to get a MLB team for Toronto, time wasn't right. He moved to LA & got the Kings, Lakers & Redskins. Good one!!

OK-here's the Canadian in me coming out. The Toronto Maple Leafs were in the International League from 1896-1967. Over the years, 15 members of the Leafs ended up in Cooperstown including Sparky Anderson & Dick Williams. From 1951 to 1961 the Leafs were owned by a man who eventually left...

Diamond Jackson-she's incredible!!

My 1st thought is Jeter, he's not active any more. The only name I can think of is Ortiz. He's played enough WS games to get the 30 AB's & he usually hits well in post season play.

Next time the Jays are in Tampa to get their asses kicked, I'll look for you in the crowd. The Rays do have a good team & so far, Kevin Cash has done a great job. :thumbsup:

Adam Wainwright's injury (sorry Jagger) has brought the DH debate up again http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2015/04/26/adam-wainwright-injury-dh/26427887/ Personally, I hate the DH. I like the strategy in the NL, the bench is more involved, I like double switches, I love seeing the...

Sorry to hear that Jagger. Blues & Leafs have the same Cup drought.

This is sad-Jim Fanning died today http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fanning He worked for the Expos for years as manager, GM, broadcaster. He then worked for the Jays for years as Ambassador to Baseball in Canada. He played a huge part in the growth of baseball in Canada at the grass roots...

This city had a civic orgasm when the ball left the yard. Top 5 moment in Canadian sports history for sure.

Good one pool-hustler. It was the first nationally televised game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_Heard_%27Round_the_World_%28baseball%29 Slight t/j here. To me, the most dramatic home run hit was Joe Carter's shot in '93 that won the Jays a World Series. Thompson's won a pennant, but...

I have no idea who was in the pen. Was that game not the first nationally televised game?

Damn Vern Law.:hatsoff: to you Jagger for the correct answer. Great question pool_hustler!!:clap:

Is it my imagination or are tempers short already this year. Baltimore has thrown behind Bautista twice this year & both times he responded with home runs. KC/Oakland.

Did Dock Ellis win it? I'm going out on a limb with this one.

After the Toronto group lost the Giants, MLB said the American League was set to expand to Seattle (to make up for losing the Pilots) & Toronto would be a natural for the AL East. Ewing Kaufmann put in a good word for Toronto-his wife was from Toronto.

Did Drabek win it?

It was the San Francisco Giants. I was glad we were getting a NL team. I'm not a fan of the DH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Toronto_Blue_Jays

Hey Bob-Mets lose 2 players today to broken bones. That sucks.

The Olympics were in Montreal in 1976, it wasn't the Expos though.

In 1976, before the Toronto group was awarded an American League franchise, a National League team was all but sold to the Toronto group. I remember the headlines. What NL team was all set to move to Toronto in 1976?

The new park in Miami-I think it's called Marlins Park

I would like to see Babcock stay in Detroit. It's a good fit there. However, the lure of winning a Stanley Cup in Toronto may lure Babcock out of Detroit.

Edmonton wins the McDavid sweepstakes. This means for the 4th time in 6 years, the Oilers will pick #1 overall. They still need a goalie, a defenceman & they better add a babysitter for this bunch of talented kids. Buffalo falls to #2 & will probably pick Jack Eichel, a very talented American...

Hang on-I think Wrigley is named after the family, not the gum.

Washington is Nationals Park. No naming rights there. Real head scratcher.

Fenway, Dodger Stadium, Oriole Park, Yankee Stadium, Atlanta, Texas Rangers. That's all I've got for now.

I'm going way out on a limb here-was it Joe Cronin?

NHL Draft Lottery Day. Who gets a generational player like McDavid. The Sabres have the best odds. If it somehow happens that the Leafs end up with the #1 pick, fans here will have a street named after him by Monday night. He's a Toronto kid & his dream is to play for the Leafs.

Gehrig? Great question Jagger69!!

Jays home opener tonight. They have 2 Toronto born players in the starting line-up. Just curious, how often does this happen with other teams?

Sabres fire coach Ted Nolan http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/buffalo-sabres-fire-head-coach-ted-nolan-232656549.html That is just SO wrong. Hopefully Ted lands on his feet with a better gig.

The Leafs have tons of money-money won't be a factor. He may want to be GM too. Will he be willing to coach a re-build?

You're right again Jagger69!! The Leafs have about the highest ticket prices in the league, they are the most valuable NHL franchise & some of the most loyal fans in sports. It has been a comedy of errors since Pat Quinn left. There has been some good hockey people here, it's like they lose...

You're right Jagger69!! The Leafs are a joke, 1 playoff berth in the last 10 years. :hairpull: There's always the draft lottery to look forward to.

I live just outside of Toronto. What are these playoffs you speak of? :confused:

Did Cesar Tovar do it?

Hopefully you'll be posting pics :)

Reggie Jackson??

http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Vida_Blue Vida Blue. It was a barroom bet. I lost.

Not Mickey

Not Joe Mauer.

Neither were switch hitters.

I thought I'd revive this thread since Sunday is opening day. Who was the last switch hitter to win the AL MVP award?

I think the girl with her hair up is Devin Deray
