- The Toronto Blue Jays chose Dave McKay from the Minnesota Twins in the 1976 expansion draft. Dave was a utility player for the Blue Jays in 1977 before stepping into the starting 2B role in 1978.
- McKay missed about a month of the season from late June to early August. He played in only one game (July 14) during that time.
- 1977 Stats: .197, 3 HR, 22 RBI in 95 games
- 1977 Highlights:
- April 7 – Went 2 for 4 and singled in a run in the team’s first game as the Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5.
- Other card blogs: 1976, 1979, 1983
Dave was also the first Canadian to play for the Blue Jays. This was a card that was always on my wantlist for that factor, and it was really nice to pick it up in a trade a while back.
