Original Toronto Star caption: It's bareback at the ballpark. The best place in Metro to get a pre-summer tan - if you're a baseball nut - is in the seats along first-base line at Exhibition Stadium. This was the scene yesterday along one row as 11,500 fans watched Blue Jays lose 6-1 to Detroit Tigers. It should be another great day for tanning at the teams' third meeting today - forecasters callef for sunny skies and temperatures in the high seventies. But they would not predict outcome of the game - they each have a win.
