Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)

[Pendleton]

ITT we will countdown to the first day of Spring Training 2023, using the jersey numbers of Blue Jays greats (or your personal favourites from over the years).

 

As of today there are 34 days until pitchers and catchers report.

 

Turns out that #34 has been a popular choice for quality SP's in Toronto, but we'll kick things off with this guy

 

 

Feel free to share your own favourite Blue Jays #34 over the years, and I'll see everyone tomorrow for #33.

This is by far the most excited I've been for a season since AA robbed Billy Boy of Donaldson

For pitchers and catchers, yes. Official start is later I think

Burnett was an awesome pitcher. Sucks he missed some time in 2006 and 2007, though in 2008 he was a beast.

 

Sucked with the Yankees but glad he went on to have success with the Pirates and Phillies near the end of his career.

Naw, dont you remember? AJ Burnett is and always will be a .500 pitcher.

Esmil Rogers?

Gee....I wonder who's gonna be the obvious pick for tomorrow

 

Another Hall of Famer that's not a pitcher wore that number for the Blue Jays. Any guesses without looking?
