Shawn Green

Shawn came to the Blue Jays briefly in 1993 and finally made the team full time in 1995.  He played through adversity while in Toronto and became a star.  No matter how much adversity he faced, he always had time for the fans and the community.  He can often be seen on the field signing autographs before many games.  This is something he has done ever since his rookie season in Toronto.  Green went from a raw rookie to Superstar in five years, but he always carried himself with the same amount of class on and off the field.  Whether it was not saying anything when he was clearly being mistreated, or signing autographs before many games he was always classy.  It was a sad day when he was traded to the Dodgers because the Blue Jays let a special player and person get away.  Some people were angry with Shawn for leaving, but after what he went through in Toronto I can't blame him for wanting to leave.  After five years with the Dodgers, Shawn spent a year and a half with the Arizona Diamondbacks before being traded to the Mets.  He's reunited with his good friend Carlos Delgado they fell just short of an appearance in the World Series in 2006.  Shawn's option for 2008 was declined and he has now retired.  Thanks for the memories Shawn.
