Ernie Whitt was left unprotected in the expansion draft that transpired after the 1976 season, and became one of the original Toronto Blue Jays, a team he stayed with through 1989. Although he spent most of this time platooning behind the plate with Buck Martinez, Ernie had several very productive seasons. In 1987, he hit .269 (a career high) with 19 HRs and 75 RBIs (also a career high). He is widely regarded as the Blue Jays' greatest catcher.
