Kevin Glew’s Canadian Baseball History Blog
My weekly Canadian baseball news and notes column discusses Game 6, Josh Naylor, Rob Thomson, Dave McKay and Blue Monday.
Fifty years ago today, Dave McKay (Vancouver, B.C.) became the first - and still only - Canadian to hit a home run in their first major league at bat.
It seems fitting that Fergie Jenkins, the greatest Canadian pitcher, was the first to toss a shutout against the Toronto Blue Jays in a regular season game. He did it 48 years ago today.
So, who has the most Opening Day starts at each position in Toronto Blue Jays' history? I did the research.
Arizona Diamondbacks first base coach Dave McKay is the definition of a baseball lifer. The 2025 season will represent his 55th consecutive campaign in pro baseball and his 41st as a big-league coach.
This will be the final version of my 2024-25 ex-Toronto Blue Jays off-season transaction tracker. It includes 65 transactions.
It has been a busy off-season for Canadians in professional baseball. I’ve tried to document all of the transactions involving Canadians in the pro ranks this off-season.
My ex-Toronto Blue Jays off-season tracker is back for another year. This should help you follow where your favourite former Jays land this winter.
