Next Three Jays On the Wall
This is my list of the next three Jays that need to go on the wall:
1. Tom Henke- The Terminator probably should have gone up before Alomar, sorry Robbie, not that you don't deserve it but The Terminator and those glasses were imposing and he was one of the great closers of the day.
2. Jimmy Key- The best left handed pitcher the Jays have ever had. He was a corner stone of the rotation along with Dave Steib for years and even though they let him go too early and he went on to become a Yankee in the 90's Jimmy was and always will be a Jay in our hearts.
3. Devon White- The Catch in the World Series will always be what Devo will be remembered for and he should be. I dare anyone to find a slicker, better defensive center fielder than Devon White. He may have been the best defensive center fielder in the history of the game. I am not overstating that either. Go backand look at video of him playing in the field and it was like he was on ice skates out there. He was graceful even on the hardest of plays. He may not go into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but he can be on the Jays Wall of Excellence
I like this topic.
I also like your choices.
I'd only add a couple of names to the mix. John Olerud and Carlos Delgado... altho they'll likely wait for Delgado to retire first.
I like Olerud and Delgado too,
I was also tossing around Willie Upshaw, Paul Molitor, Damaso Garcia, Jim Clancy, Ernie Whitt and Pat Borders. Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield.
