A Chat With Jesse Barfield

The Blue Jays legendary outfielder was in Vancouver for the 2020 Vancouver Canadians Hot Stove Luncheon.

Jesse Barfield slugged 241 home runs over a 12-year major league career that began with Toronto in 1981.

After being selected in the ninth round of Central High School in Joliet, Illinois by the Blue Jays in 1977, Jesse Barfield would make his major league debut nearly an hour away from his hometown on September 3, 1981. The cannon-armed outfielder went 1-for-4 with an RBI single off Steve Trout and added a stolen base at Comiskey Park.
