#729 Blue Jays Leaders
Why this card is awesome: Because it looks like George Bell just told a joke but the other guy (Lloyd Moseby I think?) Fred McGriff didn't find it funny.
Cool stat: IN 1988, Toronto was one of three teams to have 7 of their 9 starters (all AL clubs) hit at least 10 homers.
I think that's McGriff.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, but let's see what Toronto Mike has to say.
ReplyDeleteThat's Fred McGriff, I'm certain.
ReplyDeleteGood enough for me...fixed it.
ReplyDeleteIn 1987, the Blue Jays and Orioles topped the AL with 9 players posting double-digit homerun totals (though some were platoon guys).
ReplyDeleteBell's joke: Hey, you know you look just like Lloyd Moseby.
