Original Toronto Star caption: What'll it do to the turf? Groundskeepers at the Exhibition Stadium are concerned about what streams of tobacco juice and blobs of dubble gum - common game fare in baseball - are going to do to artificial turf, but apparently it didn't worry Toronto Blue Jays equipment manager John Silverman, as he checks a fresh supply today at dressing room before Jays have first workout on home ground. Of course, they may bite off more than they can chew.
