But Vlad gave the FCats such a big lead in the standings early, they coasted to a playoffs berth and won the EL. I feel pretty lucky to have AA ball in our little burgh.

I remember them announcing that they won the championship while watching a late season Jays game, they had some really good 2nd generation MLBers on that roster

Toronto had been the parent of this team since it moved here from New Haven in 2004.

Glens Falls had the White Sox AA team in the 80s. I'd love to have a AA team now, but we've got a JUCO league. If we had AA ball, I'd be there all the time.

Screw Johnny Damon. Rocket Roger and Wade Boggs too. Clemens was famous for 2 things - his childish temper tantrums, and throwing high heat at batters heads. Boggs road off on a horse, looking like a horse’s ass. (As always, JMHO ?⚾️?) .

It is still absolutely unbelievable to me that Clemens threw a jagged broken barrel of a bat at Piazza and was not ejected. That was ***** up. Edited April 16, 2019 by Turk71

row_33 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 i miss those days at Jays home games watching Clemens and Halladay get 4 inches of strike zone off both sides of the plate, and nobody said a peep a firm biggie had seasons 5 rows behinds home plate at the Dome and gave me the pair all the time for free during a few dismal seasons, so i got to see the game as close as i ever will

Jay_Fixit Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Been a Jays fan since I was a young lad, mid 80’s. I actually sometimes come on the Brewers boards and ask how everyone is doing and how they think their squad will be doing the coming years.

Tell me you didn't give yourself a nasty salute every time Pillar knocked one out since his trade to Cali. I told Row...people still talk about him here him B-low...some of his defensive outfield plays were Mays like. I'm still not sure why some Jays fans wanted him gone...

Most of the people I saw wanting him gone were because he was older and they have to sell off anyone older then 25 for the rebuild, and they thought he was overrated and not a good hitter. His defensive plays were because apparently he was a poor fielder and had to make diving catches cause of bad judgement on the ball and being late to get there on time. This is the same fan base that also wants to run out Stroman next because they think he has a cancerous attitude and is cocky......
