47 Years Ago Today The Blue Jays played their first game on April 7, 1977, at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. If you are old enough to remember Exhibition Stadium , you’ll remember it was a terrible place to watch a baseball game. The Argonauts played their CFL games there, so the seats faced the 55-yard line, not the diamond. You had to turn your head to watch the play. As time passed, they made some improvements there, but Skydome was a vast improvement. It was a historic moment.
On offense, Doug Ault was the star of the game, hitting two home runs and driving in four. This was a surprising performance for a guy who had only 17 career homers in 256 major league games. His exceptional display of skill and power was a testament to his talent. Al Woods also made a significant contribution with a pinch-hit, 2-run homer. Woods played seven years with the Jays, and while he had a good season in 1980, hitting .300/.364/.480 with 15 home runs.
