Times-Advocate, 1982-11-24, Page 16Page 4A Times -Advocate, November 24, 1982 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh x Thinking of Spring Winter is still not with us, but, it's nice to think about spring. The Toronto Blue Jays have announced information on their 1983 exhibition and regular season schedule. The Jays will open the home schedule on Saturday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m. against the New York Yankees in the first of a two game weekend series. This is the first time the Blue Jays have opened at home on a Saturday and marks the second time in three seasons they have had the Yankees as opening day guests. Their regular season opens in Boston on Tues- day, April 5. , Toronto finishes its 162 game schedule for the se- cond straight season on Sunday, October 2 against the Minnesota Twins. May will be the busiest month at Ex- hibition Stadium featuring 19 games in 18 days including the season's first doubleheader, Sunday May 19 at 1:30 p.m. against the Boston Red Sox. April and June see nine games each including two unusual starting times. The Jays host the Oakland A's at 6 p.m. June 18 and the Minnesota Twins at 12:30 p.m. on June 22. The longest homestand of the season starts Mon- day, August 29 through Sunday, September 11 with 14 games in 14 days including nine through the Canadian National Exhibition, Holiday games at home include a Victoria Day game Monday, May 23 against the Detroit Tigers, Canada Day on Friday, July 1 against Seattle, Civic Holiday, August 1 versus the Cleveland Indians and Labour Day September 5 with California supplying the opposition. Selected ticket prices have been increased moderately for the first time in two years. Top priced :field level chairs will be $8.50 while the upper level reserved chairs are $7 and the firstbasereservedbench seats will sell for $5. Right field reserved and general admission tickets have remained unchanged since the club's initial season. They are $3 and $2 respectively. Two other doubleheaders are planned. They are Tuesday, August 2 against the always popular New York Yankees and .Friday, September 2 when the Detroit Tigers will be in: The Bltle Jays were very active in the recent free agent draft. Now we have to wait and see how active they are in the actual bidding for the services of at least some of their selections. They have a good choice in one area where they really need some bolstering and that's with left hand- ed pitching. The Jays front office seems to be confident they can come to terms with their first choice in the draft southpaw Bob Shirley of the Cincinatti Reds. Shirley, a six year National league veteran compil- ed an eight wins and 13 losses record last year in 40 games with an earned run average of 3.60. In our opinion, thebest left handed reliever would. be the veteran Tom Burgmeier of the Boston Red Sox. With the Red Sox in 1982, Bergmeier•was seven and none with two saves for an unearned run average of 2.29 in 40 games. Of the balance of the draftees the best f.1r the Jays would appear to be John Lowenstein from the Baltimore Orioles. He hit .320 last year including 24 home runs and 66 runs batted in. Hull coming • One of the most popular players ever to lace on skates in the National hockey league will be the headline speaker at the 10th annual Exeter Lions Sportsmen's Dinner. The Golden Jet Bobby Hull will be here for the local dinner on Tuesday, February 8 at the South Huron Rec Centre. Dinner chairman Clarence McDowell has also an- nounced that one of the top wrestlers over the past 30 years, Lord Athol Layton will be the master of ceremonies. • Each year the sponsoring Lions Club are able to come up with top notch men to act as master of ceremonies and this year appears to be no exception. Tickets for the local dinner are again priced at $30 for adults and are already on sale from any Exeter Lion. Might be a good idea to get your ticket early as Bobby Hull should generate a lot of interest. Hull who completed his big league career with a comeback attempt with the New York Rangers appears quite frequently on Hockey Night in Canada telecasts. Grey Cup prediction Both of our regular readers have indicated they are expecting us to make a prediction on Srnday's Grey Cup game so they can go out and bet on the opposite team. Here we go.
