TORONTO -- Longtime Blue Jays fan Andy Knapp immediately phoned a friend when he heard that Jesse Barfield and other members of the 1985 squad would be sharing an evening with several hundred lucky Toronto baseball fans. But his friend's response was delayed, and tickets to Saturday night's event had sold out by the time he inquired.
"So I told them, 'Do whatever it takes, put me on a waiting list, I'll do anything,'" said Knapp, a Blue Jays fan since the early 80s.
When the phone finally rang to inform him that a pair of tickets had opened up, he was in the middle of a business meeting.
