Here's the final POTD for 2010 from my end.  I had never seen the Jays live on the road until the missus and I made a trip to Cleveland to catch the noon hour finale of a mid-week three game series at Progressive Energy Field.  It was her idea to go and I wasn't about to argue!  However, the Jays would be in tough as they had to face Indians ace Fausto Carmona, a big obstacle standing in the way of a series sweep.

Jose Molina got the start behind the plate as he catches a warm-up toss from starter Brandon Morrow in the Jays bullpen.  This picture was the first time I realized there was a small number 8 on his catcher's mask.  Molina would contribute to the Jays offense with an RBI single and a walk.
