Good speakers
We mentioned a few weeks ago, that the Exeter
Lions club Sportsmen's dinner committee were busy
lining up celebrities for their next event.
Chairman George Godbolt called a few days ago
to say at least three guests had been lined up.
Coming in for the February 5 dinner as headline
speaker will be former New York Yankee Bobby
Richardson. He was the regular and star second
baseman for the Yanks in the days of Mickey Mantle,
Roger Maris, Yogi Berran and Casey Stengel.
The second speaker will likely be just as popular
and interesting. He is former National hockey league
referee Red Storey who was probably the most out-
spoken and controversial official the league has ever
had.
We heard Storey as he appeared on Bill Brady's
OpenLine radio show a few months ago and he appears
to be a delightful entertainer.
The master of ceremonies for the dinner will be
former Denver Bronco footballer Craig Baynham,
who is now a minister in London.
The Lions while having top notch speakers for
each of their six previous dinners also came up with
excellent mastersof ceremonies that were able to keep
things moving in addition to a little humour.
Testing our memory, the first six masters of
ceremonies were the late Tory Gregg, Bill Brady, Lee
Paul, Bruce Murray, Tuffy Knight and Graham
Leggatt.
Each year we keep saying, "This year's dinner
appears to be bigger and better than ever". That
slogan seems to apply again this year.
In most instances the visiting sports celebrities
have really enjoyed their two day stay in Western On-
tario attending the London and Exeter dinners and
assisting in the cause of crippled children.
Apparently last year's speaker Bobby Bragan put
in a good word for the hospitality he received to Bobby
Richardson and urged him to make the trip.
The Lions are to be congratulated on not only
providing area sports fans with excellent entertain-
ment, but, in their support of crippled children. We
don't know the exact amount of monies turned over
, from the first five dinners, but, it must be well in ex-
cess of $10,000.
George Godbolt tells us the tickets will remain at
$25 for adults and $15 for students. They are expected
to be on sale in a couple of weeks and would make ex-
cellent Christmas gifts for the sportsmen or
sportswomen in your family.
Blue Jays schedule
The Toronto Blue Jays will be trying to extend
their record in home openers to an unblemished 4-0
mark when they open their 1980 home season on Mon-
day, April 14 in a 1:30 game against the Milwaukee
Brewers. The Jays defeated Chicago, Detroit and in
last year's rain shortened home opener, Kansas City
for their previous three wins.
For the third consecutive year Toronto will open
and close the season on the road. They will begin their
4th year of play in the American league in the
Kingdome on Wednesday, April 9 against the Seattle
Mariners and wind up their campaign some 161 games
later in Boston's Fenway Park on Sunday, October 5.
As was the case last year, each Amercian league
team will play a minimum 6 home and 6 away games
against both Eastern and Western Division opposition.
The remaining 6 games, that make up the 162 game
schedule will be divided up 3 at home and 3 on the road
amongst the Blue Jays Eastern Division foes. This
coming season the Blue Jays have drawn extra home
games versus Cleveland, Baltimore and New York
while they will play 7 away games in Boston,
Milwaukee and Detroit.
The Blue Jays will play a total of 81 games in 79
dates at Exhibition Stadium in 1980 before closing out
the :home season on Wednesday, October 1 at 7:30
against Detroit. Included in those 79 datesare32 single
day games 45 single night games and 2 double-
headers. The first twin bill is a Sunday afternoon af-
fair on May 4th, beginning at 1:30 while the second one
is a twi-night doubleheader versus Chicago at 5:30 on
Wednesday, June 18.
The Blue Jays have a rather light home schedule
in April, playing only 6 of their first 18 games within
the confines of Exhibition Stadium. That fact plus the
moving of the entire schedule back a week should
provide Toronto fans with an excellent opportunity to
enjoy the bulk of Blue Jays baseball when the warmer
weather has arrived.
Following the home opener the Blue Jays will play
two 4 p.m. games with the Brewers before heading out
on the road. They will return on Monday, April 28th to
begin a 3 game series with the Kansas City Royals. As
has been the case in the past three years, all single
day games with the exception of the two in April and
the six during the C.N.E. will begin at 1:30 while all
single night games will commence at 7:30.
Toronto will be at home on 13 separate weekends
during the season as well as two holidays. They will
face the powerful Boston Red Sox on Victoria Day,
Monday, May 19 in a 1:30 game and then take on the
American League Champions, Baltimore Orioles in a
Dominion Day 1:30 start on Tuesday, July 1,
Season sales are once again expected to be high as
fans will want to guarantee their seats for all of the
big series, special promotions, customer entertain-
ment or for employee incentives. Fans wishing
further information regarding Blue Jays season
tickets should contact the Blue Jays ticket office for
details.
Baseball's 1979 annual winter meetings will be
held in Toronto during the week of December I at the
Sheraton Centre. This marks only the 3rd time that the
meetings have been held outside the United States
with Montreal in 1936 and Mexico City in 1967 being
the previous two foreign cities. Over 1,200 delegates
are expected to attend this year's convention,

seconds left hit the empty
