How long have you been a fan/Favorite All Time Jays?

TrueBlueJay · 12-04-2006, 03:25 PM

Boards been kinda slow the past few days, figured I'd try to jump start it...

How long have you been watching the Jays and who are your all-time favorites?

I've been watching the Jays since 1988, so I was lucky enough to be a kid in the glory years.

My all time favorite Jays are Dave Steib, Roberto Alomar (as a Jay...I try to block out post-Jay memories), Pat Hentgen, Carlos Delgado and Roy Halladay.

My current favorite Jays are Doc, Overbay, Rios and Wells.

How could I forget Devo? I was 12 and 13 when we were winning World Series, and I was a CF because of him. I modelled myself after him from the way I tracked down balls, to the way I caught flies with my glove at my waist.

Since expansion.

My favourite players are any players that most message boarders are too young to remember, because I can say, "this oldtimer was better than (insert name of recent star)" and when you counter with stats, I can say, "but did you see both of them play in their prime?"

I love those players.

It is true 85 is also his age, not just the magical 85Jays.

85Jays · 12-05-2006, 01:41 PM

Yes. And I understand mrbaseball2 also used his age as part of his username.

gojays2007 · 12-05-2006, 01:47 PM

TrueBlueJay · 12-05-2006, 02:06 PM

I could when I was 2.

TheShaker99 · 12-07-2006, 11:30 PM

I'd have to say Jimmy Key was my absolute fav, being a southpaw pitcher and all, yet I still loved Stieb,Barfield,Moseby,Alomar,Hentgen,Joltin Joe and Delgado, er Doc lol. Damn there's so many?!?! Right now I'd have to say Position inf-Glaus, OF-Wells, BP-T2-B.J. Ryan and obviously SP's Doc and I do love A.J's stuff it's freakin sick man. Oh sry, to answer the original question I've been a Jay and Pirate fan since 79 at the tender age of 6,lol. Yes, I'm a diehard fan!!!

anne25 · 12-08-2006, 04:50 PM

Fan since the Jays set foot in Canada. I've had a lot of favorite over the years, but I'll narrow it down to a few. Tony Fernandez leads the way, then in no particular order, Stieb, Henke,Whitt, Borders, Molitor and Charlie O'Brien.

BlueJaysLee · 12-08-2006, 06:36 PM

Jimmy Key is my all-time favorite Blue Jay. I, as TheShaker99, was a left-handed pitcher and I modeled my game after his style. I kept his 1990's Donruss card in my hat for good luck, lol.

I'd have to say I became a fan in 1984 (4 years old) after the Jays finished in second to the Tigers.
