Share this story
Juan Andres Guzman | SP | 1991-1998
Juan Guzman was born October 28th, 1966 Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He was signed as an amateur free agent in 1985 by the
Dodgers. Near the end of the 1987 season, the Jays traded
Mike Sharperson to LA for him. It is one of the better trades in Jay’s history. Sharperson had some decent seasons for the Dodgers, but Guzman was a much better player.
Pat Gillick knew what he was doing.
The Jays called Juan up to the majors in early June of 1991; the rotation was a bit of a mess behind the top three of
That incident, we ve moved on from it, Nichols said. We don t even speak about it.
Nichols, who was brought on as an assistant during the 2017-18 season, has stepped in as the Lions interim coach. The 1995 Roosevelt graduate shares a close relationship with Moore, and even though his brother can t be on the sidelines with him, Nichols has vowed to do everything he can to steer the team in the right direction.
So far, so good.

Top 60 All-Time Blue Jays: #30 Duane Ward

Roy Duane Ward | RP | 1986-1995
Duane Ward was born May 18, 1964, in Park View, New Mexico (he and Ken Giles are the only Jays born in New Mexico). The
Braves grabbed him in the first round of the 1982 draft, number nine overall. Dwight Gooden went four spots before him. A big (6’4”) right-hander Ward struggled as starting prospect in the Braves system, having big-time control issues walking 5 per 9 innings without getting the strikeouts the way he would later. On July 6, 1986, the
Blue Jays traded
Doyle Alexander to the Braves for Ward. Doyle was a pretty good starter but it is safe to say we won that one.
Then, it all came crashing down. I knew something wasn t right for sure just because I couldn t really put too much pressure on (my left knee), Glass said. But for the first week, I didn t even know that (my left ACL) was torn, and our trainers were telling me that it might have been something with my hamstring. I didn t find out until about a week later when I took an MRI. That s when they told me.
Glass said he sustained his season-ending knee injury after catching a pass and planting awkwardly in a Week 6 win at LaPorte on Sept. 25. He walked off the field under his own power thinking he would return, but when it was confirmed that Glass high school football career was over, he was heartbroken.
