Blue Jays birthdays: Rick Cerone

Rick Cerone turns 67 today.
Cerone was an original
John Lowenstein, four months and one day before their first game, sending Rico Carty to
Cleveland for him. We had taken Carty from Cleveland in the expansion draft and would get him back in March of 1978.
Cerone played in our first ever game, going 2 for 4 with a double in our win over the

Blue Jays played their first-ever game: April 7, 1977, at
Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. If you are old enough to remember Exhibition Stadium, you’ll remember it was a terrible place to watch a baseball game. The
Argonauts played their CFL games there, so the seats faced the 55 yard line, not the diamond. You had to turn your head to watch the play. They made some improvements there as time went on, but
Skydome was a huge improvement
It was cold. The official game temperature was 0 C, but there was wind and a little snow. It would have seemed colder sitting in those stands. The Jays won the game 9-5 beating the White Sox. Jays’ starting pitcher,
