1983 Blue Jays autographed baseball

[cmyke]

In 1983, my grandma had the honor of throwing the first pitch at the Blue Jays vs. (???) game. Unfortunately, the game was rained out, but she DID get a baseball autographed by almost the entire team.

Here are the names I can make out:
Jim Acker
Jim Clancy
Dave Geisel
Jim Gott
Luis Leal
Randy Moffitt
Mike Morgan
Dave Stieb
Matt Williams
Buck Martinez
Ernie Whitt
Damaso Garcia
Alfredo Griffin
Mickey Klutts
Rance Mulliniks
Jesse Barfield
Lloyd Moseby
Jorge Orta

The ball's sitting on my shelf in a little plastic case. I've never taken it out! How much would it be worth these days (not that I'm trying to sell)? How would I get more information about the game that was supposed to have played (at least the team they were going to play)? Are there rain-out stats?

Thanks!

My best estimate on the ball would be maybe $100-$200 or so, assuming the signatures & ball are in good shape. Not sure where you can find stats on games that were never completed (or played?) but someone here might.

Bryan,
I have never seen "rain out" games on a schedule before. Here's the closest that I could find: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/team...p?y=1983&t=TOR

Of course there is that 98% chance that the link above is going to be zero help anyways.

Thanks for the link- I figured someone here would know. :cap:

It looks like Matt Williams was only on the team in August so it's probably around there. I'll see if I can dig up a 1983 Blue Jays schedule and compare it to the game logs on Retrosheet.org.
