I’m heading to the Blue Jays vs. Padres game in a couple of weeks with my wife and daughters. I’m a card collector, so I decided to start PC’ing the current Blue Jays roster by picking up a rookie card for every player.
We’re planning to get to the ballpark early and see if we can get some autographs. For most of the players, I tried to find a nice parallel or something a little more interesting than just the base rookie.
Below is what I picked up and what I paid. Cards highlighted in yellow are still in the mail, and the ones in green have already arrived.
I built the list from the current roster, although I know that can change pretty quickly. Hopefully I didn’t miss anyone!
Anyone else I might want to pick up before the 11th?

Ya’ll whooped my Jays yesterday. Yikes.
Revenge today!!

I was from Calgary in college in Louisiana. I made pretty good friends with a guy from New Jersey over the year while playing roller hockey. At the end of the school year , he had already purchased a playoff package. He said if New Jersey makes it to the finals he’d fly me in for a game. ?!?!
When they made it, he called and said game three or four?
Pretty unbelievable.
When exiting the stadium, I started a “We got the cup” chant in the tunnel under the freeway . I remember how that chant went on and on and then could hear it had spread everywhere after exiting the tunnel.
I look back on how lucky I was to have that opportunity to see a cup clenching game.
