Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: No token Canadian. Rob Ducey, Toronto-born and Cambridge-raised, played his way on to the 1989 Blue Jays this spring strictly on talent. Doing the little things well, such as this bunt, made as much of an impression on Jays as hitting over 400 and playing a strong centre field. Ducey is one of six basically new faces on '89 team.
