My favorite stat of Vizquel is that he has more career hits than Babe Ruth.

With his last hit today he passed Mel Ott on the all-time list.

Very nice gestures that Farrell started him at SS and Brett Lawrie swapped jersey numbers with him. I wonder where those jerseys will end up?

To the OP, I'll definitely send you whatever is in the Toronto Star tomorrow. PM me your address.

Huge thanks, much appreciated!

You have to imagine that jersey will be going home with him tonight, along with a lot of other stuff. If no one caught it, he also made a basket catch in short left field with his back to the plate. Classic Omar.

I'm in that picture!
It was a bitter sweet night for sure. I haven't seen a Toronto crowd cheer like that in quite some time.
It was great to be a part of baseball history! Finally met him a couple weeks ago, and he is totally a class act!

Tonight's Toronto/Minnesota game is likely the last that Omar Vizquel will play.

since you started this thread and are a big vizquel collector, PM me about something....

One of the greatest Mariners of all time...

Haha, how'd Felix Fermin work out for y'all?

It was great to have a HOFer on the roster.

Just posted on the Blue Jays website auctions page on Saturday are the Brett Lawrie #17 and Omar Vizquel #13 MLB authenticated jerseys from the Jays' final 2012 game.

The both were worn through the first to fourth innings and the Vizquel is at $1300 (the opening bid) while the Lawrie opened at $750 and no bids so far.

They also have the balls thrown for the first strike and first ball of Vizquel's fifth inning AB ($150 each), a few other G/U balls from other players' AB's for $50 apiece, two of each of the bases, and the lineup card.

Whew! They're really hoping to cash in!

Very cool... Although those are some big tickets for those items...
