1978 Topps #626 Toronto Blue Jays Team
About this card
This is one of the 26 team cards, one for every club. Team cards and manager cards are separate cards this year, and every club except the Milwaukee Brewers also has a manager card - George Bamberger was hired in late January 1978, too late to be included.
The story on this card
Toronto played its first major-league season in 1977 under manager Roy Hartsfield and went 54-107, last in the American League East and 45 1/2 games behind the Yankees. The opener on April 7 drew 44,649 to snowy Exhibition Stadium. Bill Singer, a 20-game winner for the 1969 Dodgers, started, and Doug Ault hit two home runs in a 9-5 win over the White Sox. Ron Fairly was the lone All-Star. Roy Howell drove in nine runs in a 19-3 win at Yankee Stadium on September 10, and on September 15 Baltimore forfeited a game to Toronto 9-0 after Earl Weaver pulled his club off the field. Attendance reached 1,701,052, an expansion-team record. The Blue Jays team card is #626 in the 1978 Topps set.
