Tim Johnson
Name the THREE former Toronto Blue Jays managers who played for a Canadian-based franchise in the Major Leagues. Please DON'T answer if you know one or two of them.
Charlie hit .400, (2/5), with 3 RBIs in 4 September games for the '93 Expos, his only playing time in The Show. Charlie married his first wife, Dana Espinosa, at home plate, Cohen Stadium in El Paso Texas, while Charlie was playing for the AA Diablos in the Texas League, (Brewers organization). A picture from their wedding appears on page 57 of the April, 1991 issue of National Geographic magazine.
The Diablos team folded after the 2013 season. Their last manager was Tim Johnson.
I'm pretty sure that Buck Martinez has eaten Old El Paso Tex-Mex food products.
Correct!

Thanks! I saw part of a replay of the festivities and heard Winfield talking about why he went to Toronto and Gaston being the manager was one of them. So I thought of HOF type players who played for Gaston near the end of their careers and Parker was one that popped up, so I went with him since I knew they overlapped. I had also considered Al Oliver, but his Toronto arrival was too early and I do not believe he was ever a Gaston teammate. I'd have to look it up.
That would be Claude Lemieux from my childhood Habs. Too bad he later became a detriment to the club with his diving and childish antics.
outstanding guess but incorrect. The question was more than 10, not 10 or more. A few more hints — the correct answer is within a 5 year range of 1986 and the player did not advance to the cup.
I too was a huge fan of the Habs in 1986 when Lemieux had 10 playoff goals. He was a star in those playoffs and I will always remember his game 7 series winner against Hartford, where he comes from behind the net to the low slot and beats Mike Liut with a backhand.
He was on 6 World Series winning teams and was once a Toronto Blue Jay, name him.

Answer: Chris Chambliss , as a player he won 2 WS with Yankees and 4 as a coach with the Yankees. After the '79 season the Yanks traded him to the Blue Jays who then in the off season, traded him to the Braves. He never played a game with Toronto, but was technically a Blue Jay.
Correct answer was John Druce. After two 8 goal seasons (over 93 total games) Druce inexplicably exploded for 14 goals in 15 games for the Washington Capitals during the 1990 playoffs. He never really came close to that from for the rest of his career.
What NFL field goal kicker with only 3/4 of a kicking foot made a 63 yd kick, a record that stood for 40 yrs, as time ran out to win the game and also what future Hall of Fame player
and future TV star was on the field on defence when the kick was made.
