John Cerutti: Gone Too Soon

blue jays

I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog.

This is a tough one, because John Cerutti left us far too soon.

As a Jays pitcher, I remember him as a serviceable, steady arm, but nothing spectacular.  He's probably best known for recording the first Blue Jays win at SkyDome back on June 7, 1989.

He was to broadcast the last game of the 2004 season when he was found dead in his hotel room.  I labelled our 2004 season the season from hell.  In fact, it's my least favourite Blue Jays season ever, and Cerutti's death is a big reason why.
