GAME 79 7-4 Loss vs. Boston Season Record: 37-42 Before discussing the depressing inevitability of tonight’s game’s outcome, we’ll focus on the pleasant improbability of late round draft picks who went on to become MLB stars. The top two draft pick steals in Toronto Blue Jays history: 2. DAVE STIEB – 5th round, 1978 (106th […]
