This Day in Blue
Jays’ History: April 7th, 1977
It was on this date in 1977 that
the Toronto Blue Jays played their first game in franchise history. It was
played at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto (pretty much where BMO Field stands
today) and a snow-covered field greeted the fans and players for Opening Day.
Toronto’s opponent was the Chicago White Sox
and Canadian-born folk-singer Anne Murray sang the Canadian national anthem.
As was the case with George
Bell’s three-home run game, I will not discuss much of this game as it, too,
will be featured later in the season as part of our Blue Jays’ Top 25 Games in
franchise history.
