Default "Vintage" Blue Jays! Drive of '85

This lot takes me back to the Fall of 1985 when I was just 18 and was crazy for the Jays! Wait...I still am

Living in Calgary (North of Montana for those that can't place the city) and only getting back to my hometown Toronto once a year - it is amazing when I can get a Jays fix. Attended 2 almost sold out games last week and on Saturday, I joined by buddy at a Jays-organized, 30-anniversary tribute for the Jays '85 outfield trio of: George Bell, Lloyd "Shaker" Moseby and Jessie Barfield.

These guys were joined at the event by other 1985 teammates - Dave Stieb, Willie Upshaw, Tony Fernandez, Cito Gaston, Garth Iorg, Tom Henke, Rance Mulliniks and Buck Martinez.

Amazing night of all access mingling, autographs, baseball stories, photos, reminiscing etc. Obtained a tribute program from Saturday's game and got it fully signed by all including Paul Beeston along with a photo and ball with just the 3 outfielders and a few cards and scraps.
