It did not take but a minute during Monday’s introductory press conference to quickly realize the type of person and the qualities that Charlie Montoyo possesses on and off the baseball diamond. Montoyo beamed with authenticity and sincerity with every passing question he answered for the Toronto media in attendance.
I admittedly knew very little of Montoyo prior to his name being churned through the rumour mill a few weeks earlier. I was a big supporter of John Gibbons and openly campaigned for Stubby Clapp to be appointed as the Blue Jays new skipper.
