That was 'kiss my purple butt' George Bell.

Our own Mike Timlin has 4 rings and pitched in all 4 World Series. Twice with us and twice with the Red Sox.

Dave Winfield is the easy one. I believe Dave Parker is the other. They overlapped briefly in 1978 with the Pirates and 1991 on the Jays.

You got it, well done!!!!!! During Saturday's 30th anniversary festivities, Gaston mentioned the fact he managed 2 of his past teammates. Winfield was pretty easy to figure out, Parker not so much. I had forgotten about Parker's time as a Jay.

Cito Gaston was the 59th pick, (out of 60), in the 1968 National League Expansion Draft. Which other former Jays' manager was also selected in that draft?

Correct! Jimy Williams was drafted by the Expos with the 32nd pick, but never played in the Majors after 1967. He is not to be confused with Jim Williams, who was selected with pick #44, and had 2 RBIs for the Padres in 1969.
