It was 30 years ago today that the Toronto Blue Jays played their first ever game in Major League Baseball. They defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-5 at the old Exhibition Stadium on that day. Happy 30th anniversary, Jays. Here's to many more years of great baseball in Toronto.

Here. Here.

Toronto is a great town.  I recall being at SkyDome in its 3rd or 4th year, and being there for the first time ever they had a close the dome during a game when a wild storm rolled in.  This would have been about '93 or so, although as a Philly fan, I have bad memories about the end of that season....

....curse you Joe Carter!

Sorry Sideshow, I thought Game 6 of the '93 Series was the best.

Boy do I remember that game very well.

I have to say that the Jays seem to have a very good team this year. They have a good chance at the World Series, although it's very very very early, still!

It sucks for me though, because this year, I sort of have a renewed interest in baseball. I just wish it would have happened before the Expos' left Montreal ...

Well ... as long as I'm wishing for things, I wish the Expos were STILL in Montreal ...

That makes 2 of us Franc.
