The young standout right-hander Chase Whitley had nada, and the Joey Bats/Brett Lawrie-less Toronto lineup showed no mercy.

The Bird’s then got to Tanaka for 2 runs, but all hell broke loose
Old Timer’s Day. The New York Yankees started the concept— and own it to this day. Other MLB franchises, and even teams in other sports have glommed on to the idea, but no one does it like the originators.
