Time will tell
The next couple of 'weeks should reveal how
serious the Toronto Blue Jays are about -providing an
exciting and contending team for Ontario sports fans.
In' --Friday's • re-entry draft. the Blue Jays put
claims in on three pitcher and three good ones at
that. •
But. that's only a start. The catch is that 12 other
teams also put in a bid for the same hurlers.
The Blu,e Jays fans have given the club terrific
support in their first two years of operation and it
seems time the club officials loosen the rubber band'
on their bank roll and sign some top notch performers.
The excellent attendan'te figures for the first two
seasons were probably due in part to -the novelty of
having "our own team." -
From now on it will be.up to the team on the field
to keep the customers coming to CNE Stadium; in
Toronto. •
