Damn! Roberto Alomar has AIDS?

Yeah, Bell was tough, great bat but not the best fielder we ever had. Fernandez was so smooth. And a very good hitter. He had some serious injuries, notably a broken elbow on his throwing arm because of some shitty artificial turf at the old stadium. Fred McGriff was another guy I liked, He could really crush a baseball. Dave Stieb putting down 26 in a row against the Yankees was something to remember. Saw that game on TV. Damn Roberto Kelly!

I tell you I have never seen anything like the party that hit Toronto after the second World Series in '93. So many people poured into downtown after the win at home, it had to be seen to be believed. Wall to wall people all the way down Yonge Street.

Of course I am a lifelong Red Sox fan but I appreciated a lot of the Blue Jays players.....most noteably the guys who came around to help the Red Sox: David Cone, Mike Timlin, etc....but I ALWAYS wanted Tony Fernandez to play SS and turn the double play with Marty Barrett and later Jody Reed.

General Manager Pat Gillick was the true brains behind the Jays. They had a damn good run of +.500 seasons, culminating in several division championships the last two being of course the world series victories. He left the team after the 2nd series, and things were never the same.

Yeah Lyle, I do remember Toronto doing a number on the Red Sox, seems to me for a while, I forget exactly when, there was a very long streak where Boston couldn't buy a win against the Jays, including games where the Jays would come back from a huge deficits to win in the ninth.

You know who was absolutely awesome for the Jays for a couple years was Roger Clemens, right after he left Boston. Consecutive 20+ win seasons, ERA down below 2.0, two Cy Youngs, Off the top of my head I'm not sure what his strikeout stats were, but I'm sure they were good. Then he left the team halfway through his contract, cause he didn't think we could win a series.
