TORONTO - It’s tough to walk in your father’s footsteps.
It will be awfully difficult for new Blue Jays reliever Jason Grilli.
His pop, Steve Grilli introduces himself, when at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse or in Toronto, as the all-time Blue Jays earned run average leader.
Steve Grilli is a man from Northern New York who speaks the truth.
He just doesn’t always tell people that his Jays complete career consisted of 21/3 scoreless innings in one appearance against the 1979 Boston Red Sox.
The father now 67, pitched parts of four seasons in the majors.
