Addison Barger... a 25-year-old Popeye-armed, handsome outfielder, is seemingly gifted by the baseball gods. Last night, in game one of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers, Barger hit a grand slam in the sixth inning and things were Blown Wide Open (shout out to
Props to FOTM Hall of Famer Retrontario for this nugget. It's Big Bird before the Jays vs. A's in 1992. Speaking of Retrontario, he's my guest on Toronto Mike'd next week!
In 1976, there were only 24 teams in all of Major League Baseball. Way back in 1960, MLB identified eight potential expansion cities: Toronto, Seattle, Atlanta, Buffalo, Dallas–Fort Worth, Denver, Oakland, and San Diego. All would eventually get teams, except Buffalo, where the Blue Jays AAA team now plays.
I recently wrote about how my interest in sports is waning. In actuality, it's my interest in low-stakes sport that has plummeted. I just don't want to deal with a 162 game regular season Blue Jays schedule, but I'm still quite interested in playoff baseball. Today I tuned into my

Randy Moffitt had a 6-2 record and a 3.77 ERA in 45 appearances in relief for the Toronto Blue Jays back in 1983. It was the last of his 12 seasons in Major League Baseball. He was the younger brother of Billie Jean King.
I'm old enough to remember when the name Roberto Alomar could be found on the Level of Excellence at Skydome. Back in 2021, Major League Baseball placed Roberto Alomar on their Ineligible List, following an independent investigation, and his name was quickly removed. On Toronto Mike'd we often speculate who
Just last week I recorded an episode devoted to Dave Stieb. Dave Stieb was the Blue Jays ace when I discovered the team in the early 80s, but before Jimmy Key emerged as a stellar starting pitcher, there was a clear #2. His name was Jim Clancy. I wrote this

Dave Parker, the Cobra, was a seven-time All-Star who won two National League batting titles and was the 1978 National League Most Valuable Player. He was a member of two World Series championship teams, winning with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979 and the Oakland Athletics in 1989, and he played
Although I missed the very early years of Dave Stieb's career, I caught on in '83 and instantly fell in love with the Blue Jays ace. All those near no-hitters and finally, in 1990, a bonafide actual no-hitter, the only one in Blue Jays history. Dave Stieb was a tremendous

Rickey Henderson set numerous major league baseball records for stolen bases, including the career mark of 1,406 and the modern single-season record of 130 in 1982. Arguably the greatest leadoff hitter in the history of MLB, of particular interest in these parts is the fact he won the World
Rico Carty achieved his greatest fame with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, culminating in a National League All-Star Game appearance and batting title in 1970, but I'll remember him best as a member of my Toronto Blue Jays in 1978 and 1979. He was, and will forever be, The Beeg

Thursday night, I was recording live from the grand opening of the Bespoke Wellness Group's fantastic new space at 1 Yorkville. It was a great night and I got to catch up with FOTMs Dwight Drummond, Dominic Sciullo and Joel Goldberg. I also got to meet the incredible Dr. Elaine
This is interesting. Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen is set to make history on Monday against the Blue Jays. Danny Jansen, you may recall, was at bat for the Blue Jays when the June 26 game against Boston was suspended in the second inning because of rain. The game was
I tuned in to watch some of the Blue Jays home opener yesterday and from a television perspective the biggest change is behind home plate. We're now forced to watch a tribute to wealth and commerce if we want to see Blue Jays baseball. I don't like the back wall,
