My first MLB game was the Angels at Jays in 1977. Joe Rudi hit a HR, but the Jays won. Don't really remember much else. It was a thrill 

Joe Rudi.   There is name from the past.   Rudi was a very good all around ballplayer and he was an important piece of the A’s championship teams that won 3 World Series in the early 70’s.

As long as we are talking Jays memories, my wife(then girlfriend) and I went to the CNE and I dragged her to a Red Sox vs Jays doubleheader at the old Exhibition Stadium.  Jim Rice hit 3 HR in I believe the 1st game…couldn’t get her to sit through both games. 😂

I remember the snow, Dave Steib starting, and I believe it was delayed a day because of weather.

CNE stadium!

The Jays starting pitcher was Bill Singer, Steib was opening pitcher for the first time six years later in 1983.

Yeah - poor memory at my age. I looked it up - Steib wasn't even in the bigs until 1979. Game played on opening day, despite the snow.
