Original Toronto Star caption: Will this mark the season that Canadian Rob Ducey (top) wins regular employment with the Jays? The door is open to him, with a job up for grabs in centre field. Meanwhile, one of the original Jays, Jim Clancy (above), is taking part in his 12th spring training with the club. Young or old, rookie or veteran, they all need from time to time to break in a new glove. No problem. Equipment dealers, such as the one at left, come to the camps laden with their leather wares.
