I was glad to hear Jerry Howarth was back in the booth. It was he and Tom Cheek in the early Eighties that kept me as a fan during those years when the Jays didn't have much to celebrate. He taught me that you could appreciate the game, even if you lost. And in those days we lost quite a bit. During the '84-'85 campaign, I was living in Colombia, and enjoying winter ball. The Blue Jays organization sent me a box filled with Jays paraphernalia and I proudly passed it around and covered every public bus with Blue Jay stickers. Upon my return to Toronto, and taking my seat along the first base side, Jerry gave me a shout out at the game. One of the proudest moments of life came that day, and I attribute it to Jerry Howarth. Nothing but class! Thanks Jerry! Can't wait to hear, "and the Jays are in flight"!
