From the white front panel hat to the iconic font, it is one of the more underrated styles of the league. I think those ’93 unis are what the Jays’ should be wearing still.

Also, I'm hoping New Era and American Needle will realize one of these days that those 70-80's white fronted caps (ala the O's, Jay's & Expos) were made of a nylon material and not wool-blend - they just don't look "right"...[/quote] It was no extra effort for the helmets, they wear those on Fridays anyway (with the powder blue road unis). If they didn't already have those helmets on the shelf, anybody's guess if they would have bothered to make them.

They need to bring those back full-time. Also, not a big deal since I like the white/Blue hat, the solid blue hat was the one they wore in 93 in the clincher. Although they used both that year.

I went to Baseball Reference and got a general time frame from the Angels being posted as Los Angeles and not California/Anaheim and then just researched from 2005 on for the most runs Cleveland scored in the second inning via the Team Inning Summary. After that I could easily cross reference to the Cubs game which I recognized by the scoreboard by dialing up the game where the Indians scored all those runs and clicking on the link to the Chicago box for that same day located at the top of the page. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200904180.shtml This post took twice as long to write as it took to find the information longhand (i.e. no googling) The game was at Wrigley 4/18/09 and ended on a Aramis Ramirez walk-off HR for a 7-5 victory over the Cardinals.
