Re: RIP: Jesse Jefferson

Thanks for the kinds words about my father. I really do appreciate it. Since my father passed I have been trying to locate photos of him playing. Would anyone have any such photos of him pitching? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: RIP: Jesse Jefferson

My condolences. I am sorry that I don't have any photos to share but growing up as a Jays can in Toronto the first few years of the teams existence meant a lot to me (still live the team, even though they are under performing). I remember watching your Dad and collected newspaper clippings of him and all the Jays of that era (scrapbooks are long gone unfort)

Condolences on your loss. I hope you find your photos.

On a side note, did your dad keep any of his jerseys? Those were some awesome styles and I'd love to see photos of them if you wanted to share.

Re: RIP: Jesse Jefferson

Thank you...I actually have not seen any of his game used Blue Jays jerseys...I haven't completely gone through everything of his. I do have his away pants and a reproduction jersey of when the Blue Jays invited him to play in an old timers game back in '86 I do have his hats he wore while with the Jays I have his cleats and his Blue Jays jacket. [ATTACH][ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]I'm sure somewhere he has them and once I locate them i will add them on here...
