I was going through old pics on my phone and stumbled on an illustrated meme of five players from last year’s Toronto Blue Jays roster. It’s date-stamped from April of 2016.
The image was comprised of in-game snapshots and each player is looking skyward, almost as if giving thanks to the baseball Gods after some measure of success had been granted them, playing this humbling game.
From most vantage points, right there: you already have a small sampling of the core group of the Toronto Blue Jays everyday players. To think of the omissions; except for Stroman, the Blue Jays rotation isn’t depicted, nor is our local super hero Kevin Pillar, not to mention Tulo.
