Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto Blue Jays' new ball girls, Leslie Hughes, left, and Sara Karlsson, both 17, get into the spirit aration for today's opening game against Detroit Tigers at Exhibition Stadium. Jay fever struck early for many fans, too, who began arriving as early as 9 a.m., some wearing furcoats, to bundle up against cold, windy and gray day. Jays will play two more games this weekend --both starting at 1.30 -- tomorrow and Sunday. [Incomplete]
