It's spring training. Michael Saunders hit two home runs and Darwin Barney drove in five runs in a game, which is really fantastic!

Except....

... you know.


All I got on this Sunday is a trivia question, and a tricky one at that so here goes.

There have been nine players in Blue Jay history who have taken the mound wearing a single digit number. As this is very obscure, full points go to whoever can name the actual pitchers who did so for the Blue Jays (one of whom plays for the team right now, of course). Two thirds of this crew are position players called to the mound in some kind of blowout, so a pointless bonus point will be awarded to whoever can name a non-pitcher who took the mound for Toronto while wearing a single digit number. I'll be honest, some of these guys did this well before I was born, so I had to look it up to be sure. Thanks Internet!

Anyhow, have at it. In the meanwhile, there's also another spring training game to enjoy.
