Original Toronto Star caption: Out in the cold: . . . and the rain . . . and the wind. All in all, it was a miserable night weather-wise at Exhibition Stadium. Stalwart Tony Frey redefined the term loyal fan while waiting out a rain delay which lasted an hour and 47 minutes. The home side eventually got things started against the K.C. Royals and made the most of it early, taking a 3-0 lead in the second frame.
