Original Toronto Star caption: Blue Jays starter Jack Morris, above, known as the greatest money pitcher of his generation, takes charge at yesterday's workout as Oakland A's pitcher Dave Stewart breaks into a wicked grin. The veterans go head to head tonight at the SkyDome in the first game of the Amercian League Championship Series. CBS says Jays are entering post-season play as favorites. The Morris-Stewart showdown is promising to be a classic. He's a battler, he doesn't quit, said orris of Stewart. In some ways, he's a lot like myself in that maybe we don't always have the best stuff, but can still find ways to win.
