RIP Damaso

[CBlake]

RIP Damaso, the second member of the '85 Jays we have lost in recent months after Tony. I know Damaso has has not been in the greatest of health for year. I hope he has found peace.

RIP, Damaso Garcia, loved watching him with Tony.

So sad, first Fernandez then Garcia - gone too soon. I recall Garcia was one of the key players who helped the Jays evolve from it's expansion era beginnings into a perennial winning team in the mid-80's that eventually led to the Championships in the early 90's. RIP.

 

I read a good article from CBC that recaps nicely his days with the Jays: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/damaso-garcia-dead-blue-jays-mlb-1.5533138

Damaso was the best soccer player in our country. In the end he decided to play baseball. He was in bed for his illness

Damn, the entire middle infield of my dream team.

I loved Damo but he sure didn't like taking his Walks . . .

 

PA: 4124

BA: .283

OBP: .309

 

Can you think of anybody else who had over 4000 career PAs with a BA of over .280 and a sub .310 OBP? haha

Not many, if there are any. Yuniesky Betancourt came to mind, but he wasn't quite there with the batting average.
