There is a price for everything ... even for future Hall of Famers.
A tweet from Jeff Blair is the inspiration behind this week's Flashback Friday at BJH. It's from 1993 when Turner Ward sold his number 24 to Rickey Henderson.
At the 1993 trade deadline, the Blue Jays were elated to add Rickey Henderson to their roster. An already impressive starting lineup anchored by WAMCO got even stronger with the addition of Henderson.
But there was just one minor little issue; someone on the Toronto Blue Jays roster already had his famous number 24: Turner Ward.
