Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)

[Krylian]

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

 

He wants noise

17 Blue Jay players have worn #32, Most notably of course the Doc, Roy Halladay from 1999 through 2009. The first player to wear it was Don Kirkwood in 1978 and the last player to wear #32 for the Jays was Scott Diamond in 2016.

 

The # is now retired of course, because Roy Halladay was the best pitcher in Blue Jays history, but sucked at flying while high.

Both can be true.

You don't think they were going to retire #32 if he was a good pilot while flying high? OK, I'll admit it may have accelerated the process - but how soon after you retire do they typically retire your #?

Only comparable for the Jays was Alomar, he retired in 2005, jersey # retired in 2011 along with his HoF induction. Alomar and Doc are the only two #'s retired by the Jays. The rest are just level of excellence.

 

Kinda seems like the Jays wait until there's a HoF announcement before they retire a #.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, but Dave Stieb's # needs to be retired ASAP.

Does Stieb fly?

Anyone that can spin a ball like he did, can do anything.

Damn yall just made me realize #12 is retired and Varsho was #12 with AZ.

 

Any idea if he’s chosen a new number yet? Or is that something that gets sorted at spring training. I’m waiting to buy his jersey

On our roster he's listed as #25

I googled it and #25 came up. No idea if there's any legitimacy to that though.

They officially gave him #25.

[Krylian]

They officially gave him #25.

 

Let's hope he plays a Devo calibre OF

[Captain_Obvious]

They officially gave him #25.

 

Makes sense. I expect 25 OOA, 25 HRs, and 25 SBs a year.

Alomar's number isn't in the rafters anymore, is it still retired? They seem to have erased him from team history for the most part...

That's right. Not sure if the number is retired anymore. Was his name erased from the Level of Excellence? I can't remember.

I think so? I only went to one game last season, and I noticed that the pennant up in the middle with 12 on it was gone, don't think I saw him on the Level of Excellence either.

Definitely. Also my mom got me a plaque of “greatest jays players all-time” for Christmas and there was a very important 2B missing…

 

The Alomar erasure has been swift and heavy.

My baseball I got him to sign in 1994 also vanished inside it's sealed box.

MLB.com only shows #32 & #42 retired for the Blue Jays...
