Countdown to ST 2025 (In Blue Jays Jersey Numbers)

[Pendleton]

The top ten (single season) batting averages in franchise history list is mostly filled with some of the biggest names in Jays history - Olerud, Delgado, Molitor(X2), Fernandez(X3), Alomar, Guerrero Jr....

 

Sneaking in at #10 with a .321 average in 1999, was the slightly lesser known Homer Bush

 

[Pendleton]

17 days until Spring Training! #17 had a shortened career due to injuries but represented the Jays in back to back All Star games - Kelly Gruber!

Sixteen days until Spring Training! I'm going with our most recent #16, LHP Yusei Kikuchi!

 

[Pendleton]

INF Garth Iorg had an initial stint with the Jays in 1978, before spending his entire eight season career in Toronto wearing #16 (1980-1987). 

 

 

He later rejoined the club as a 1B coach wearing #16 again

15 days until Spring Training! For #15 I'm going with a personal favourite growing up, it's all star OF Shawn Green!

Shawn Green was my favourite ballplayer when I started to watch baseball as a kid. He had some monster years here in Toronto!

OF Lloyd Moseby spent a decade with the Jays, the entire 1980s which coincidentally were also his age 20 through 29 seasons

LOVED Gruber. And cool pic. 

Looks like Rickey stole 3B successfully here though. LOL

That's the series, when Alomar cranked that HR off Eckersley, Rickey came to the Birds the following season at the deadline.

12 days until Spring Training! Tough choice here but I'm going with one of the longest tenured Blue Jays of all time, and a Canadian Baseball legend, it's Ernie Whitt!
